In the long run, if there is no sanction against book piracy, paying for books will be become suckers territory, or, at best, an act of charity. In rare situations, a business model based on alms can work. Very rare.

The problem is, you haven't even established how to determine if a given book is pirated or not, without massively invasive rootkits and packet sniffers going on at all levels of a network. Not even China has the resources for that, much less the inclination.
