No, they really won't. One of the ebook torrents with the most leeches on *cough* a popular torrent tracker as I type this very missive is an O'Reilly Java book -- which means no DRM, reasonable pricing, no agency pricing etc etc. Others are massive collections which almost certainly include RH books already.
The number of people who pirate as a form of "protest" are vastly outnumbered by the people who just want free stuff. Don't kid yourself on that score.
