Exactly. Pirates are not their customers, and probably never will be. So wasting money trying to stop them from doing something that isn't actually costing them money (since the pirates are, after all, paying for all the distribution themselves!) is pointless; that money would be better spent in making sure the people who are or could be their customers become or remain customers.

It's like a sports stadium spending millions of dollars and a lot of wasted effort trying to keep neighborhood kids from peeking through the cracks in the fence to watch the game because they're "stealing" a $50 view, while the paying customers are complaining that the seats are falling apart and the concession stand food is a health hazard.
