I agree, lost sales can be the fault of the publisher. However, piracy is not lost sales. Piracy is an act that goes beyond merely not buying the book.

And nothing 'drives' people to the darknet except themselves. HarryT makes the proper distinction between how honest people respond and how thieves respond.

Yes, if you are a dishonest person who has little to no value for the concept of justice, this is what you might do. But if you do that, it was by no fault of the publisher, it was entirely your fault for choosing to do so.
