I actually believe at this stage, piracy will help increase the uptake of e-books. More people will start using ebooks via the pirate bay than through any other source. Once those people get older, most of them will start buying the ebooks as they get jobs and looking for pirated material is no longer cost effective.

Eventually it's not worth digging around for a pirated mp3, you just get it from itunes for 0.99. So at this stage I think piracy is just useful for getting young people into the technology, they will buy more books later on.
