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.

So if I delete my bought-n-paid for ebook after I share it, thats fine by your logic. Just because something can be duplicated, doesn't mean it will be. I could duplicate my paper books with a pen and paper, or my copy-printer in my office, but it doesn't mean I will.
