Of course there is, has to be. Sheer numbers game. Demand and supply. The biggest money for the Big 5 is the few top sellers they have. Not really a lot per year, but there is an aweful many years of backlist top sellers. Many decades worth. And there is enough midlist as well. If it sells enough, it will be popular enough and ripe for piracy.
Also books published in the last millennium have some other reason to be pirated. Those that believe they are entitled a copy of an ebook simply by owning a paper copy. Which, of course, is another misguided poor excuse.
