Oddly enough, having been friends with a few ebrarians (what ebook pirates called themselves back on the day) in college, they'd actually do you the favor of making proofreading corrections to your work and release it with a higher version number because these errors irked them and they had the power to affect change. Thus, any recipients of your pirated work at v 5 or above would have a better opinion of your take on grammar than you deserved. And certainly a better opinion than encountering your legal copy - assuming you didn't find someone to point out those errors.
Of course this was back when the Internet was young and ebooks were simple text files. Who knows what has changed since then.
