Piracy
When people don't find what they search for in any legal means, many will instead turn to pirated copies of low quality which again result in loss of income.

May I ask why you are using the adjectival phrase "low quality"?
I find this a bit misleading, as well a red herring. The **AA also used to advertise with the 'fact' that "divx was hugely inferior" while most of the stuff you could find online was of a very acceptable, especially in the years after 2002 or so. (similarly for MP3s.. recent encodes are nearly transparant to the ear, although circulating older encodes will still be bad and skew the picture)
Similarly, there are more than enough (very) good quality ebooks to be found online in the "grey" areas of the law&the 'net; and the fewer "legal" alternatives/shops there are, the more time this distribution avenue will have to take hold in the mind and habits of 'the public'. As such, referring to those ebooks as "low quality" is deceptive, and will only serve to convince the <fools> to keep playing ostrich for a while longer, and ignore the fact that there already are good alternatives to the 'establishment' publishers available, and that the list of (OCR-ed) books is expanding on a daily basis.
