You're right, book piracy should not be condoned.
But this has absolutely nothing to do with book piracy, so that's all right then, isn't it?
...
It only takes one person to upload a stolen ebook, and it is forever available to anyone who wants to illegally download it.
And they'll use a throwaway account for it anyway.
And (unless you spend inordinate amounts of time stripping them out, which most people probably don't think of) the books that they upload will still contain the Amazon metadata/watermarks identifying the account that purchased them. Which is really a much better way of
identifying pirates than assuming everyone who returns a lot of books is a professional ebook thief.
