Among O'Leary's primary findings thus far: The piracy threat may be overrated at this point, he said, as he found a low incidence of O'Reilly books being "seeded" (uploaded) and "leeched" (downloaded) illegally on p2p sites. In fact, he found that just eight of O'Reilly's 2008 front-list titles were pirated through early 2009, and that the average post-seed sales of these titles increased 6.5 percent in the four weeks following their appearances on the site. Further, he saw a low seed and leech volume of those titles that were pirated.
