Legally, you MUST go after infringers if you are aware that they are
infringing. You can loose the right to sue if you discover a problem and
do not make an attempt to do something about it

By this reasoning, putting your books into the public library is opening
the door to copyright infringement. Silly notion, isn't it?
I think the people need education about the problem. Consider that
Windows allows you to save things from the web. It is a "Right Click"
feature. It is automatic with most browsers as well. Unfortunately, as it
is now, it creates issues for all people who create for the world, and
the only way to put a damper on it is by standing up for your rights.
