Hmm... so untold numbers of pirates are spending time copying and OCR'ing books, being downloaded by untold internet users,
none of which are actually read?
Why would anyone give gifts no one wants, asks for, or uses? Even for this situation, that's phenomenally stupid. So I'd suggest there's a problem with this assumption... the fact that you have no hard data on reading means nothing, since no one's gathering data in the Darknet. Statements like that are anecdotal, but otherwise useless.
If it could be ascertained that the Darknet held no threat, by sheer reliable data, publishers would not try to protect their content to keep it off of the Darknet. QED.
We need more than beliefs that "I'm missing the point."
