That's just silly. If there's DRM, such filenames are pointless. And if there's no DRM (regardless of how/why) the filenames are a mass rename away from being pointless. Either way: their efforts/money to thwart piracy would be better spent elsewhere.
If their books are drm-free, there's no court in the land that would prosecute based on filenames found in the wild, anyway. "Your honor: I misplaced my reader during that time and found it a week later at work. I have no idea who might have used it (or what they might have done with it) during that time." *shrug*
