I think that was deliberate. Without "ebook", most of the search results are for the film version and you're several pages into the results before you even see a legitimate ebook version never mind an unauthorised copy. Therefore confirming the OP's claim that the unauthorised copy is too difficult for "normal" people to find. But that supposes that people looking for an ebook won't think to include the word "ebook" in their search and won't notice Google's suggestion of the word "ebook" (or in fact the word "free").
