These are just examples:

1. Photostats:
I can guess this usually occurs to students, whereby the price of such books or materials of original quality would be quite expensive. So how do they solve this? Just photostat the original book content. By right, this is illegal, since it borders on copyright issues as well as disrespecting the nature of the book author(s) who had been writing materials for the benefits of the students themselves.

2. E-Books:
Not all e-books are legal. Hence, by just a few simple keywords, you can find the entire book content of Harry Potter's novels or the next Indiana Jones's movie script. Going by the matter, Harry Potter's books are not even that expensive if you are a fan, and Indy's next movie script is not even supposed to be read if you are the series's follower. You can't really say "because I am their hardcore fan, I *MUST* READ IT!" because that is just wrong.

3. Illegally Printed Materials in Books & Magazines:
This is usually common in magazines, comics & mangas. How often do you find at any local book shop, whereby they are selling Doreamon mangas that were printed and translated into BM/English/Chinese, but it was not even legally authorized by the owners back in Japan? How do we know it was illegally printed? Check out the front intro of the book, they will just put in the name of the company printing it and translating it, but no authorization from anyone! The best thing yet, some of us had been buying it because: (1) they are cheap, and (2) if its in Japanese, we won't understand it. Those companies knows this, so they abuse the system of where the Japanese will not go to length and search all book shops in Malaysia and sue them, AND because they know that the locals in Malaysia will BUY them.

These are 3 examples, but I'm sure there are more like illegal reading via podcast, etc.
