I don't think we can correlate the number of places it appears and the
actual demand for it. It seems to me that everything is being posted
these days (the apparently complete Google Play library on androidpit
surprised me, but I doubt Casey's Solitaire is getting much traction
over there.) We don't really know how many times the items are
actually downloaded.
This is really a sort of infantilism, where the person(s) who pirates
the software/pdf puts it in
as many places as possible, not because they will benefit from people
downloading it, or in
any other way, but just as a way of saying 'nyah, nyah, nyah' to the
person who did all the work.
But like you I do hope it translates to both more legitimate sales of
Colin's book, and additional sales of LiveCode.
