I alluded to this in the last Scribd thread, but try doing a search for either Seduction or NLP. The reason both groups were the first to have their stuff pirated is because their business models are based on information scarcity + books.

Scribd is really the first easy way to spread books around the web, so it makes sense that groups using this business model would be the hardest hit.
