Digital Piracy spreads to e-books 
(4 January 2010)
Digital piracy, long confined to music and movies, is spreading to books. Pirated copies of Dan Brown's latest blockbuster novel 'The Lost Symbol' were found less than 24 hours after its release. Some authors and publishers are concerned but some see piracy as a necessary evil of e-book technology.
