Ex: I usually don't see eBooks sold by Fictionwise without DRM on the Usenet eBook groups. I usually don't see MP3s sold by AudioLunchbox (which doesn't use DRM) available for download.
My theory is that pirates see non-DRM content as being "fair" and DRMed content as "unfair". The copyright of fairly available content is more respectful, and, so, they respect it. Copyright of unfairly available content is disrespectful and, so, they do not respect it - and make it available for everyone to download

I totally agree with rlauzon on this. There does seem to be an unwritten code of conduct used by the book pirates to leave stuff alone that they consider to be fairly offered to consumers.
Pirates will deliberately target stuff that they consider to be "locked up".
