No it makes perfect sence. Call your legit users criminals and not do a damn thing to hinder the real criminals. You know it would be great of these game developers would release a limited version of their games like in the old days so you know whether the game sucks or not BEFORE you buy the full blown game. I have been burned enough times that I get pirate copies of new games and test play them. If I like them I go out and buy a legit copy and support the makers of great games. If the game sucks sweaty donkey balls I remove the game from my system and thank the pirates for allowing me to avoid wasting $50 on a s**tty game. The Pirates are providing a MUCH needed service. One the gaming industry should put back into play.

Yes, because bringing the government in on the gaming industry has ended well every time it happened.
