If the book is unpublished, then no revenue will have been lost. And someone posting it without the author's permission would not affect the author's rights should they try to sell it.
Cases of plagiarism are rare, because it's difficult to succeed at it. The plagiariser (if there is such a word) has to sell the plagiarised work as their own. And we all know that getting published is hard*...
