"Pirate this book" was an experiment to prove this to the people who said it was nonsense, he got people to put it on pirate sites and then published his Amazon sales figures a few months later.

In my opinion it was a flawed experiment because the publicity he got from doing it would have skewed his sales anyway. He really should have put it on the pirate sites himself and only told anyone about it after he had his sales figures.
