Scanning teams, or sometimes worse. The "carpet edition" of book seven swept the net in the week before Deathly Hallows was released--but I don't think anyone who bothered to get it, didn't also buy a copy (sometimes several) at full price.
They read the early, hard-to-view digital version to avoid spoilers from jerks who bombarded the internet with lists of who died on what page, on the morning it was officially released.
