As long as you have a big company that makes even a few people angry that can scan and post pirated copies of books it will be a problem. The bigger the sales and company the more likely it is to happen. Since they have larger player bases and are far more likely to anger one of their fans. With the whole 4e and 3e rants going on and posts. i think it will be very common, likely worse than 3e is... if thats possible.
Angry fans? You think anger is the motivation for piracy? Where does that reasoning come from?
I dare say being angry at WOTC makes it less likely that you'll hand them some of your hard earned cash in order to buy one of their .pdf and then upload it. 'Ah Ah! I bought one of your books, you sucker!'
I am no psychologist but I expect the typical profile of .pdf pirate is a 15 year old with no respect for copyright, too much time on his hands and a pathological need for recognition that is satsified by a handful of strangers typing 'tx man!' in the tracker's message box.
