Nope. If I buy a paper book, then sell it to you as as a used book,
I no longer have it. There is a
single copy of the book, and while it has been sold twice, one of those sales benefited the author and the publisher.
If the book is in electronic form, any number of copies may be made. The original copy that is being pirated may have been a sale for publisher and author, but it could theoretically be the
only legitimate sale the book had.
