So far as e-books go one can infer from the continued existence of a viable market that at least sufficient number of people buy their e-books rather than download pirate versions to keep the market viable. Does this mean that a majority do so? I suspect so, but have not come across definitive evidence. I also wonder if there is greater piracy of Big 5 titles as opposed to Indies.
