I really don't see the problem. If you innocently give an e-book to one person and that book winds up on a file sharing site then they will come to you and you will tell them who you shared the book with and so on down the line until they get to the guilty party. Exactly how it should be. You will get off with a warning and the real offender can be punished. And yes, it would mean that people should not share their books with friends or family members they cannot count on to act responsibly. Another plus.
