You should care very much. If you don't, then you end up with the "slippery slope" and the "boiled frog".

Moreover, you do not know what will be considered important in the future. For all you know, tomorrow some big publisher may consider the use of calibre to be evidence of book piracy, the same way that today, IP addresses are evidence enough that you pirated a movie/music.
