I disagree. One reason we need a new model or more for the digital age is that those pirates are not a cost to anyone. People who were not going to buy anyway do not cost the author and the publisher anything.
They have enjoyed an eBook. The publisher and the author cannot realistically or morally decide and enforce who gets to enjoy a book.
