One of the problems is that it's NOT a crime. He can't go to the police and say "this guy pirated my book". The police will tell him that it's a civil matter, and that he needs to take civil court proceedings against the person involved. And that's very expensive, and very unlikely to achieve anything in practical terms.
This way, lots of people get to see that bad things can happen to people who pirate books. And it may even put some people off from doing it.
