Unfortunately there isn't a reliable way to know how many people have pirated it.

It really doesn't matter how many people pirated it, as long as he makes enough money for it to be worth it to him to have made it in the first place. If it was 10 people but 40,000 bought it or a million pirates and 40,000 consumers, it's all the same to him.

I tried to download it using my 3 free downloads - failed miserably (got about 10k/s for the first 100MB).

So I'll be one of those leeches shortly...
