Look at what happened with Lord of the Rings -- an extremely popular darknet download, it still hit the bestseller list once a (mistake ridden!) legal version was available to buy. I'm confident the same would happen with, say, Harry Potter.

Any book has the potential to be "pirated anyway," but that's hardly an argument for not making legal versions available.
