Here's part of the blurb:

'Combining research essays, interviews, and overviews, The Piracy Years brings together leading scholars and infamous digital pirates from China, Germany, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

In 1999, Napster transformed the availability of online content, but the site was quickly sued into oblivion. Despite the highly publicised shutdowns of a number of P2P websites, many continue to thrive, and digital piracy has become a global phenomenon. This book argues that any future media theory will have to contend with such web practices remaining an integral and politically formative part of the Internet.'

Elbakyan of course recently won the Electronic Frontier Foundation  Award for Access to Scientific Knowledge:
