Actually, people have been OCRing or scanning print books and putting files on the Internet for quite some time. OCR technology has been around since at least the 50's.

And there were pirated ebook copies of the Harry Potter books waaaay before actual ebook versions of the books were available to buy.

DRM, no DRM, print-only... doesn't matter. People will pirate it.
