If only the pirate copy is available nobody will ever pay unless they want a physical copy. If the e-book is available, at least the law abiding people who want to contribute can do so.

You include in the license a hefty fine to be paid if they allow the doc to be pirated.  A stolen laptop won't include the password so that would be reasonably hacker proof.
