As I explained, no individual gets prosecuted for content theft.
Indeed rights holders do prefer to sue operators as they are more likely to get the money. In this case a user would at a minimum get their rights revoked.
People can join a library or buy the book. Authors need to eat too.
Scribd also buys content. I confess I don't entirely understand their site, but publishers are suing the "Open Library", which loans copyright books without buying a library licence.
Every regular library buys an ebook licence per simultaneous loan. Some countries they also pay about 30c per borrow royalty too.
