Technology giving human tasks more at eased. With the new invention of e-book make people can just carry hundreds of books in one small gadget call E-book. Up to date, based on Debrah Cornwall in her interview on E-books popularity on the rise, books currently make up between 6 to 7 per cent of the market in the US and Britain, more than half those sales are made within the first 24 hours of a book's release. The sales made through online downloading through e-book itself.

Indeed, piracy through digital e-book is also on the raised. Hackers will used any ways to get the free version of everything. Yet early this year in January, CNN has broadcast news about the same issues. Based from CNN.com Dan Brown's blockbuster novel "The Lost Symbol" hit stores in September, it may have offered a peek at the future of bookselling. Unfortunately,it is reported that in less ess than 24 hours after its release, pirated digital copies of the novel were found on file-sharing sites such as Rapidshare and BitTorrent. In just a blink of eyes, the copy has been downloaded for free more than 100,000 times all over the world.

The mess cause from file sharing software P2P doesn’t effecting top author to gain profit from the book selling through digital also through the book store. What sad is, piracy is unethical and against the law. So it shouldn’t be happening.
