I think you WISH things were the way you say it is, but perhaps you should ask a lawyer instead of assuming.
oh and btw you are only losing money if you are selling book to the infringers marketplace, if you are not selling in that region then there is no economic damage and you can't sue for it.

see the second ruling i pointed out.
