People pirate even if things are available and they just don't want to pay for them. This "Oliver Twist just wants a bowl of ebooks" nonsense needs to be put to rest.
Unavailability isn't the only reason for unauthorised downloading, but it is the most common reason among people who actually buy digital content. And those are the sort of people that should really be encouraged rather than wasting time, money and effort on people who will never buy no matter what you do.
