I'm afraid I don't see how this particular statistic is significant.
We're told that "a group formerly unwilling to infringe copyright are changing their behaviour".
Where are the stats that show that this particular group didn't use to pirate ebooks? Changing their behaviour compared to when? In what amount?
This suspiciously looks like something trying to call upon a bunch of outdated stereotypes to make somewhat of a gratuitous point:
- Women are technologically impaired;
- The older you are, the less you know about teh internetz;
- Only geeky male teenagers pirate;
...therefore anything that appears to deviate from that "norm" has to be significant.
Meh.
