Actually every pirate tracker logs download figures and makes them available for public inspection. Cyberlockers will also tell you the number of times a file has been downloaded. There are other places to download from that won't give you any figures, but those two will be by far the most commonly used so they will give you a pretty accurate idea.
Is it possible to find similar data on the number of legitimate purchases of a book on Amazon or similar? It would be interesting to compare figures for that Dragon Tattoo book.
