No author will be loosing money for books pirated... People pirate books because they're not available in their country (no money lost, because they couldn't buy it anyway) - Books they have previously bought, but are now geo restricted (they have already got their money).. Books are too expensive (again... they wouldn't have bought a copy)
A first time author should put their book on the darknet (I think some of them do) to get some readers... Word-of-mouth is a powerful advertisement.
