Since you asked for a business law textbook, perhaps people who learned the material decided redistributing the ebook is a bad idea. Ditto for the people who passed the ethics exam.

The music recording industry really went after people who redistributed digital versions of songs. I keep expecting the publishing industry to do the same. If it hasn't happened yet, will it never happen, or does it not matter? Answering that is beyond me. People who don't want to pay for ebooks sometimes claim fair use allows them to get a copy without paying for it, but quoting Fair Use in a Nutshell "If the use diminishes the market for the copyrighted work (or portions of it), including revenues from licensing fees, it is probably not a fair use."
