Yes. The way to beat such copyright violations is price and convenience. Have a dedicated site with fast downloads, a large selection, and low prices; also, don't piss off potential customers with crappy DRM and geographical restrictions. I am not a huge fan of Apple, but the iTunes store got this almost right. A tune for a buck? Not turning to the darknet for that.

Some people will never buy anything, some will buy selectively, and some will buy all of their material...it's probably a bell curve.

Yes. Also, those that won't buy at any price literally never will. It's not that they'd suddenly buy if they can't get it illegally. So, stop worrying about lost sales, there aren't any in these cases.

Print books have never gotten money for every single reader, so why would be expect digital books to?

Because they can. Or think they do.
