I think it's unbecoming to make oneself the public domain police and keep some from performing an entirely legal action because you suspect some might not be scrupulous.
Do you honestly think most users from life+70 countries will go out and buy it instead of downloading it from MR for free? If you think think this, you are seriously deluding yourself.

It won't work like that. A life+50 eBook wins and it will get download by people in life+70 countries.
