I can only say that if I look at the price of an ebook and it is the same as a print book, I am more likely to buy the print book. I just can't see paying the same price for a digital download; I view the print book as having more "value" to me.
I don't think price really is the determining factor because there are too many reasons why people upload books, ranging from making sure that OOP books become available again to thinking that all books should be freely available to everyone - with all the positions in between.
