You have likely already considered it, but this:

Would result in silly high proportion of "pirates". How many of us have really -never- downloaded copyrighted material? It would be interesting to compare this number with something like:

Q: Out of last 50 (non public domain) e-books you've read, how many did you actually buy?

It would be more difficult to word this the other way around - "how many obtained illegally" would include DRM-removal on your purchases and bypassing geo-restrictions as "piracy".
