Regardless of facts, statistics, or experiments, I've yet to see ANY author do themselves any favors by taking a vocal anti-piracy tack. It's a no-win situation where railing against it will only exacerbate the problem. Your paying fans don't want to hear you whinge about it, and your pirate fans don't care in the slightest.
You talk to readers about your books. You talk to industry insiders privately about your piracy concerns/woes. Because telling readers not to pirate your ebooks will only ever get you one of two responses: "I don't", or "Bite me." And then the world keeps going as it always did.
