As usual, those screaming "pirate!" are claiming losses equal to the number of suspected acts of "piracy" -- a bogus conflation. If someone was to download an ebook for free, it does not automatically follow that it's a lost sale. Most of the time, I'd suspect that it's not a lost sale at all; it's more like someone browsing books in a bookstore.
