I don't have a clue as to how you would know piracy volumes. But I'm guessing that the cast album of each recent year's Tony award winning best musical is massively pirated. And while the stars make a good income, others who get a share of the revenue do not.

I don't know what you mean by piracy volumes. If you are referring to the amounts of piracy that are occurring, one can guesstimate. Look at activity and requests on the newsgroups, try google searches for certain items. This is what the movie companies do- search pirate websites for their products, then notify the filesharing service that a copyright violation has occurred and to please remove the files. So first run movies don't stay up on the pirate websites for long.
There are so many channels for pirated books, and they are much smaller in size, so it is harder to stop book postings. Books can be posted in a newsgroup, on websites linked to the file in a file sharing service, via email, on irc, etc.
