I would retain the services of any good attorney at least for an initial consultation. You may find that your exposure is minimal, and if you can clearly document how many times the e-book was downloaded you will know exactly how much revenue the author has "lost."

Anyone here have a ping list for lawyer Freepers?

I do in fact know how many times it was downloaded and from where the folks came to get it. I also have their IP addresses FWIW. I was thinking (to myself) of making an offer based on his site conversion rate and the number of downloads from my site.
