You obviously haven't read these forums. Those people also purchased the book and the only reason they downloaded the illegal eBook was so they could read it as an eBook. An eBook that was not offered at all through any legal channel.

Fact: DRM doesn't work. All DRM has been cracked.
DRM exists for only 1 purpose: to lock a user into a certain company. It does not, cannot, protect the content.
DRM is a failure. To think it's "critically important" is to ignore the facts and think that customers are morons.
