That's because (some) people are used to looking on pirate sites for their ebooks, so they would have no way of knowing how much or little the legitimate version costs. The solution to that would be to put a note in your ebook about how they can help (in financial or other ways) if they like it enough. But those people are already lost forever. They had 10 years of getting used to turning to pirate sites before anyone got around to selling legitimate ebooks. So for them it's a simple choice between downloading your ebook or downloading someone else's ebook.
