It appears that most ebook pirates are sexually perverted, environmentally conscious photographers, who have a vampire fetish and enjoy fixing things about the house.
Sexually perverted? Is this 1955?

Damn you, timemachine.

I can only ask how is a list like this even put together. There is really no way to know how many copies of any book/ebook exist and if those copies are legitamate or not.

I call FUD!

Freakbits compiled this list from stats provided by the major torrent sites. Every time a torrent is downloaded, it increases the download count by one. There is an example here, sorted by number of downloads:

Well yes that was my point and I have been complaining to anyone who'll listen and quite a few who won't about long copyrights.

"Before Pornography: Erotic Writing in Early Modern England", LOL! This one must be being downloaded from countries with stringent internet controls.

i thought the idea of downloading these would be to carry them on their readers (anonymously of course). no longer shall the teenager have to hide the cover of his paperbook from his mum.
