You ommitted several reasons that pirates exist:
1) ebooks are simply not available, the publishers won't release them. You can buy the book, but you can't read it on your ereader.
2) ebooks can't be released due to copyright (including orphan) issues. The ebook is in a legal la-la land, no one can do anything with it, usually for a long, long time. Long after you die, for sure.
3) you can't buy the ebook because of where you live.
4) ebook quality is so bad that properly formatted pirate copies are easier to read. Really doesn't make sense, but that is probably the case a lot of the time.
Just wanted to bring it up, since you are so hung up on the pirate/theft thingy.
