It's not necessary for the computer to have been hacked remotely. Lots of people might have access to your computer and/or your e-reader temporarily (repairman, neighbor, relative, etc.) and download your files to a flash drive. And maybe you did make a copy of a book for one person, and someone got access to that person's files. The number of people who would need to be investigated increases exponentially. Who's paying for all this investigation, what are the privacy rights of all the people in the chain, and is this really a wise allocation of resources?
It is both absurd and wasteful.
