It indeed is not. Seeing 30 peers, 60 leechers can mean 90 illegal downloads the whole day, or, it could also mean lots of users downloading and closing their upload as soon as they have their ebooks.
There's just no way of telling.
And if you want (and read) a single book, you have to download a thousand.
So you're accounted for 1.000 theft even if you intended to do just one.
