Is piracy a threat?

My book has been pirated twice, once on Amazon and once on eBay. In both cases I fired of the appropriate fax and it was taken down fairly promptly. It appeared a third time on the Filipino equivalent of eBay, but I could see I was onto a loser there.

It's a pain, but a threat...? If I can't get anyone to buy the damn thing, I don't see how they're going to.
