How bad is it? Below: This torrent tracker site shows 6,610 "seeders" (people who have completely downloaded the movie the Social Network) and 1,732 "leechers" (who haven't yet completely downloaded the entire 713.93 MB file). Keep in mind that this is just a snapshot in time of just ONE torrent on ONE file sharing site. File sharing of multiple files may go on 24 hours a day on multiple torrent tracker sites. So the total number of people who have downloaded and will download a movie is much MORE than the numbers in this case indicate at this particular moment in time. Most people will stop "seeding" (sharing) once the file is completely downloaded, and then of course they will no longer add to the "seeder" count.
Below: This torrent tracker site indicates that this Adobe PhotoShop torrent has been downloaded 189,980 times.

There is a whole new culture of consumers who, before paying for a movie, audio album, book, movie or software title, will FIRST search to see if they can download it for free. If they find it then they are happy because they never had to pay for it. But if steps are taken by the copyright holder in advance to stop them, some consumers will give up and pay for it as they should.
If you have a product that generates significant sales, then you may find it beneficial to utilize WBM services. Prices start at $1,000 per month per title. The battle against Internet piracy involves posting decoy torrents, monitoring torrents sites and other sites in real time, pursuing removal of illegal torrents and other postings that may illegally infringe on your work, and providing you with information on who and where the violations are occurring. Often just a one month campaign is sufficient enough to have a great impact in stamping out piracy of less popular products. The best time to begin an effort to fight file sharing is at least a month in advance of the product release or after the release if no illegal torrents have been propagated.
We also provide information on law firms that will prosecute violators on a contingency basis, such as this one.
