Several P2P websites were taken down, some, like piratebay, had to change location. Most important I think is that the old Gigapedia, which became Library.nu went down. It probably had the best books online.
Things are scattering now. It is widespread in Brazil where I live (though websites are down everywhere). I also noted it on the SI fellows list. I think it is a cheap time effort investment to take it seriously.
I was not aware of this rumor. How did you come to the conclusion it is widespread, and why do you think it’s worth taking seriously?
