Why specify epub and not a .mobi or .azw3 or .kfx or .pdf file that is an illegal copy? Converting an epub file is not an illegal act and is supported by Amazon. After all, epub is one of the recommended formats for sending to KDP.

If your MOBI file contains reflowable content (i.e. text-heavy books), we recommend you upload an EPUB file instead.
FWIW, in another thread when I was looking at a ebook that a poster was having issues with, the pirate site they obtained the book from offered mobi, epub and pdf as file download options.
