Your reading time is finite, so time spent reading pirate books is not spent reading paid-for books.
Of course, it might not be spent reading at all, or your total reading time might increase if you have access to better books, but it's something to bear in mind.

But you can't say what I might do or not do due to having downloading an eBook. For all you know, I could have already bought author B's eBook before downloading author A's eBook.
Now the thing is, if I was planning on buying author B's eBook, why would I not do it as once I finish author a's eBook, I'd be looking for what next to read. So saying I might not buy author b's eBook is silly.

I don't intend to DRM my books. It's simply a matter of being nice to my customers.
