Some people always will, yes, but most wouldn't bother with piracy if buying were cheap and easy. Look at the iPhone/iPad app store. It's the easiest thing in the world to legitimately grab a $2 app, and as a direct consequence that business is making a fortune. There's no reason the same practice could not apply to ebooks.
