Web Pirates 'Ripping Off' Top Authors, Survey Says
Internet pirates are ripping off the world's top bestsellers, from Harry Potter to Stephen King, a Web monitoring company said on Wednesday.
``This is the first original research showing that top authors such as J.K. Rowling (news - web sites) (creator of Harry Potter) and John Grisham are being ripped off by Internet pirates,'' said the British-based Internet monitoring company Envisional.
It said authors' latest titles were being ``swapped on Napster-like file sharing systems and posted on the Internet for free in their thousands.''
Envisional's research showed 7,267 pirated e-books could be freely accessed. It warned publishers that the ``growing problem has the potential to impact upon the sector as hard as Napster hit the music industry.''
Two main methods were used for pirating books.
A minority were ``cracked'' copies of copyrighted e-books like Stephen King's novella ``Riding the Bullet.'' The process involved disabling the copy-protection system surrounding an e-book.
The most common method was taking traditional copyrighted paper books that were scanned and then converted into e-formulas. They could then be downloaded and printed out.
