Perhaps fairer to say "significant amounts of money". I suspect that if commercial ebooks (in some impossible alternative reality) weren't available other than through purchase, some authors might see a few more sales.
But overall I agree. Piracy is not a significant factor, and should be ignored in terms of implementing technological measures to try to stop it.
I think it will be far more effective to tackle it by making the purchase of ebooks simpler, and encouraging social pressure against pirating ebooks.
