Remove the infection of DRM and other restrictive out of date practices like geographic restrictions and I would imagine a lot of "casual" downloaders would return to purchasing ebooks rather than have to seek an "alternative" source.
Darknet file sharing is not going to go away period. You would be totally foolish to believe it will.
The important thing is to make ebook purchases more attractive to buy. This requires a business model shift of some magnitude from major publishers who seem most reluctant to even consider.
The money they pay copyright trolls and firms that evolve dodgy statistics could be best used for such a change.
But no...
