The stealer is most probably without enough resources to deal with complex situations. Let makes the cost to replicate higher for him. If the book is not visible on Amazon, no ranking will be available, and no e-book version will be easy to find. - Without ranking there is virtually no risk it will be targeted. - Without e-book version, it will be more difficult to copy. That said there are other ways to trick a Createspace author. For example many Createspace books are sold by independant sellers at a much higher price than the original, if there is a sell then the independant seller buy the original one and sell it to the customer, while making an easy benefit completely legally.
