Quote to Note: Most Stolen eBooks

March 4, 2010

I read “E-Book Piracy Costs U.S. Publishers $3 Billion, Says Study” and was genuinely surprised to learn that something other than technical books were stolen. The most stolen books? Here’s the quote to note:

On average, nearly 10,000 copies of every book published are downloaded for free,” the report concludes. Business and investing books are stolen the most, at an average 13,000 copies per title.

Now what about those ethics classes in business school? Ever wonder why certain clauses creep into legal agreements on little cat’s feet?

No one paid me to capture this quote. I feel as though I should report non payment to the US Postal Service which seems to have cornered the market on doing work for modest compensation.
