I would think there is a difference between personal use and commercial use. People who download a font to use in an e-reader are not potential customers, if a font is priced for commercial use. If that personal use should become a market and such people customers, fonts can't be priced high. More like 1-5€. Then you could say, a pirate is a potential customer.
Pirating fonts for non personal use or even for non commercial but public use is of course an entirely different thing. But the best way to fight that would be creating a market that is accessible.
