How? By hijacking the distribution site of the eBook? A counterfeited book can be spread to people who are infringing on copyrights. I don't see why an author or publisher should really care whether or not people who didn't buy the book get the real one or not?

Even if the ebook is freely redistributable, why would someone bother downloading it from anywhere besides the original source?

You're inventing problems that don't exist.
