Couldn't it be considered cost prohibitive (at least at present) to track a pirated book back to whomever pirated it to begin with? I mean the pirate steals it and uploads it somewhere, then someone comes along, downloads it and passes it on via another upload etc. so that the original pirate could be anywhere in the world.
