The 10 Most Pirated eBooks of 2009

By Johnathon Williams on Nov 16, 2009

Freakbits reveals the 10 most pirated eBooks of 2009, as measured by the number of downloads on the BitTorrent file sharing network.

Also, check out the breadcrumb trail that led me to that link: Ron Charles twittered two of the books on the list, so I asked Ron for a source link, to which Ron replied no sorry no link but it came from Harper’s index for December, whereupon I Googled for Harper’s index only to discover that Harper’s doesn’t post magazine content to the Web (if it’s behind a paywall, it’s not really on the Web — although the magazine will let you search old issues of the index), my resourceful self turning then to the Ebsco and LexusNexus Academic databases and discovering to much chagrin (what the hell, Harper’s?) that the most recent issue of Harper’s isn’t available in those very locked down, proprietary databases either, but finding instead a mention of the same information being available from the Christian Science Monitor, so Googling the Christian Science Monitor and finding this blog post, which itself linked to the original source.

Hmph.
