Students are the biggest culprits when it comes to e-book piracy, according to an online data monitoring company.

NetNames says its investigators looked at the availability of 50 popular textbooks across five different disciplines in the UK.
In total, 76% of the titles were available to download free in pirated form on one e-book sharing site.
NetNames says publishers are trying to beat piracy by getting their content out to users as quickly as they can.
Science and engineering were the most pirated academic textbooks.
