I really don't think one could (or should) assume that at all.The test group is just too small, too localized. I know a much larger group of people who remove DRM from their purchases (to fix formatting and/or to future-proof books) and sideload
everything. None of them go near pirated material/sites. I could just as well draw some sort of conclusion about users on the whole from that, but I shouldn't/wouldn't.
I don't think there's enough data available to support a "most sideloaded content is pirated" theory. I just don't see it.
