If there is personal info in the eBook you bought, and it ends up in someone else's hands, then you have evidence that they stole it from you. Or at least evidence that they got if from somebody who got it from somebody who stole it from you. Receiving stolen property - whether knowingly or unknowingly - does not give them claim to it. If they're caught with it they gotta give it back, no matter how much they paid for it or how innocently they thought they obtained it. Digital media is different than physical items (how would someone return a stolen eBook?), but I doubt the law would treat a stolen eBook any differently than a stolen bicycle, except for the monetary value involved.
It's probably in your best interest not to download eBooks from pirate websites, or upload any there either.
