THAT's what I was trying to get at... Apple made the music so ubiquitous and cost effective to buy that it wasn't worth the effort to pirate. I'm sure it still happens, but I have to believe legitimate sales increased considerably once things were easily and cost-effectively available.
Personally, the vast majority of ebooks I've bought have been because of ebooks I've read from the library. I find an author I like and see what other books are available from him/her...
