He could grow some more corn for free, so it works better than the usual "would you download a car" type.

That would be the logical thing to do. I seem to remember the person who wrote the Harry Potter books chasing down someone who photograped one of them and put the photos on a website (through the camera's serial number or somesuch). While if it wasn't him it would be someone else who did it sooner or later, they would be the person ultimately responsible for all the unauthorised downloaders of not just that but also the ebook versions. High fines for doing something like that would probably put a lot of people off doing it.
