Number of downloads in pirated libraries

Question

Copyright

I read the statement of one author (I also heard from others, but I don’t remember the numbers), in which he claimed that his book was downloaded in pirate libraries 1'400'000 times.
Got on both pirate sites that he knew. BUT! I did not find any open counters.

Attention to the question: where to get these statistics?

Answer 1

On LibRusEk and Flibust there is a number of file downloads. Only for this you need to be registered. For example, "Game of Thrones" by J. Martin was downloaded 25366 times. Close to a million ;)

Answer 2

In the inflamed imagination of copying mostly.

Answer 3

There is a fake tracker - sites where they offer to download something for SMS. Of course, there is no content there, and the pages are generated from a search engine query. And there is usually an unrealistic number of seeders, peers, a random number of downloads and all that. In general, you can take any number there :)

Answer 4

Question removed! Hooray!
Both sites have statistics, but you need to register.
In general, the hypothesis about the insanity of the publishers was confirmed.

Answer 5

Take, for example, today's date plus the ordinal number of the month, add an arbitrary number of zeros (depending on the CSF and the author's greed) - voila. Do not forget to say that it was downloaded more times than it was written, this is important. What if tomorrow you want to increase the number of downloads by 3 times?
