I honestly don't see myself looking for that ebook on all the sites I visit. I sometimes go and have a browse. But most time I go looking for a specific book or author.
So what it comes down to is while you have all the best intentions in the world, we are human and we do make mistakes and we do forget. What if this book you downloaded, finished read and forgot out came out 2 years later as an ebook? I know for a fact that I would have forgotten all about it.

I'm a bit of a list maker. It would become a recurring calendar item on my PDA and I'd check from time to time. I've actually never downloaded an illegal copy of anything but, no, I would not forget. I take these things too seriously to leave it to chance.
Edit: I just went and checked his wording. He asked me if I'd "conveniently" forget. Not "it might be easy to forgot so are you sure you'd remember". Too close to accusing me of falsehood for my taste. Sorry. Still insulted.
