I think a good point was made up-thread: the real problem is with the 'paying customer who decides not to pay.' That is the group that needs addressing. There are torrenting 'pirates' out there who did not pay and were never going to anyway---you can't do much about them. That is the cost of doing business, the same way the convenience store owner must reluctantly concede a portion of sales lost to teenagers shop-lifting candy bars. But the customer who could have paid but chose not to---the best way to address that problem is to figure out what turned them over from paying to not paying. In 99% of these cases, it's either that the ebook is priced too high (for example, priced higher than the paperback) or that the ebook is not legitimately available in their region. If you solve these two problems with a consistent pricing structure and region-free availability, you will win back these customers. It's very simple.
