The Paper Cuts blog post is in response to an essay in the Sunday Book Review called Steal These Books

From article: Only 40 percent of books that are read are paid for, and only 28 percent are purchased new, said Peter Hildick-Smith of the Codex Group, a consultant to the publishing industry. The rest are shared, borrowed, given away — or stolen.
