Well, I recently "pirated" a number of ebooks to replace dtb copies that I purchased - some multiple times as the originals wore out, or that I had in hard copy and in audio. Would I have paid money to replace them with ebooks? No.
I also had to pirate copies of 3 books I lost when fictionwise went nuts and I couldn't redownload the files from them.
Not counting audio, I buy an average of 3 books a year, the rest come from the library. I bought a few more books this year for my nook, but the majority still come from the library.
Even if I pirate a book now, the publishers haven't lost a sale because I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
I've learned my lesson from the fictionwise fiasco though. Now when I do buy an ebook, I immediately strip the DRM and save a backup copy.
