They would all probably read the book and delete it. If I found out one had uploaded a book to a pirate site they'd never get another one from me.
Keep in mind that we're talking about a fine point here. We're discussing which ways we share books with our friends are okay and which aren't. No-one in this discussion is advocating piracy.

Amazon already allows you to "loan" your eBook to any other Amazon customer. It lasts for 2 weeks during which you may not read it while they finish the eBook. Most publishers allow the "loan" but a few do not.
Thus, there is really no reason to skirt the copyright laws at all.
