I've probably said this hundreds of times already, but the people who never buy anything don't really matter. If they don't download your book they will just download someone else's book instead. They might give it a good review somewhere, but that's all you will ever get from them, and you won't even get that if you stop them from downloading it.

The only ones who matter are the ones who download pirate copies as a way of discovering new writers, and the ones who will buy a retail copy ONLY if they can't find a free pirate copy anywhere. Getting pirate copies delisted will increase your income from the latter group, but will also cut off any potential income from the former. As well as any residual income as a result of a positive review from the people who never buy anything.
