I wonder how popular among the pirates the perpetually best selling authors are.
For example, I can imagine that pirating a new (to you) author's books would not constitute a lost sale, but more like sampling the author's work.
But I can imagine that someone who has written many best sellers like James Patterson or Stephen King is losing sales to people who have read his books before and now would like to read the latest.
