ebook piracy
Unauthorized text downloading
Ebook piracy is the unauthorized copying and distribution of digital books.
Like other forms of digital piracy, it typically involves sharing copyrighted material through file-sharing sites, torrent networks, or direct downloads without payment to authors or publishers: The author discovered her entire backlist available on ebook piracy sites.
Publishers argue it causes significant revenue loss; some readers justify it as victimless or claim it promotes authors they'd never otherwise discover.
