No reason to wonder.
People pirate stuff because they can then get it for free. Other factors include how acceptable piracy is within one's peer group.
As for the justice of charging a higher tax for the eBook: I think that in the past, it was consistent with social justice because the people who could afford eReaders were more affluent than paper book purchasers. But as eReader and tablet prices come down, this won't be true any more. So what was a good policy should be reconsidered.
