The 10 Most Pirated eBooks of 2009
At our sister site TorrentFreak we do a weekly roundup of the most downloaded movies on BitTorrent, but there is of course more content on BitTorrent that is shared by many.
Here’s an overview of the 10 most downloaded books on BitTorrent this year. The list shows us that illicit book downloads are not yet threatening the best selling authors you’ll find in the New York Times list.
In fact, most books that are downloaded on BitTorrent fall into the nerdy niche, are porn related – or both. All (e)books in this list were downloaded between 100.000 and 250.000 times.
For your consideration…
1. Kamasutra
2. Adobe Photoshop Secrets
3. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amazing Sex
4. The Lost Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
5. Solar House – A Guide for the Solar Designer
6. Before Pornography – Erotic Writing In Early Modern England
7. Twilight – Complete Series
8. How To Get Anyone To Say YES – The Science Of Influence
9. Nude Photography – The Art And The Craft
10. Fix It – How To Do All Those Little Repair Jobs Around The Home
Is it just me or is the internet just for delivering sex related content to the masses?
The internet has things other than porn on it? Weird…
What are you stupid no
The Internet is designed for one thing and one thing only. Porn. Everything else is peripheral.
first time commenter i wanna say i love the usual info but….
i dunno where you got these numbers from i couldn’t find #4 for crap i found 1 torrent by that name….and i searched 4 different torrent sites plus 2 meta torrent search engines that search multiple sites….
i hate to criticize, since i love the site usually but maybe some more research of this one?
Wow…#8 here I come.
Out of 10, 4 are related to sex, I guess people are mode educated in Sex knowledge :P
