If the algorithm is sufficiently robust and well-explained, jurors may correctly understand that eBook quality is a separate issue.
Also,
prosecutors frequently win weak cases.
Also, the standard of proof is not beyond a shadow of a doubt. If eBook piracy was pursued as a civil matter, the standard of proof would merely be the proponderance of the evidence.
Lastly, I'd hope the emphasis was on deterence rather than punishment.
