IRC is where they are at, new content and new proofs uploaded daily, hundreds of thousands of books, it puts most ebook stores to shame.

but since its IRC, and not bitorrent for example, its not wide spread, ED2k is a souce but IRC is where the community is.

Piracy pushes the world forward, its already forced most TV networks to put their shows online for free streaming.

Movies are still way behind in catching up to piracy.
and Ebooks just dont have the exposure.
