What do you mean?

It seems you are saying that if a drug cure an illness 99% of the cases then we cannot know if it will work in the individual case so we should not take the drug.

If we empirically show that friend-sharing of books increases sales in most cases in the long run then it seems to me that the rational thing is to be happy about sharing.
