I would say that piracy isn't really an issue in places like the US. It's a much bigger deal in the 3rd world. In general, piracy doesn't represent lost sales. It's too easy to buy ebooks and too hard for the average reader to find pirated ebooks. I agree that piracy isn't a good method of discover-ability simply because the pirate audience is relatively small.
