This, too, has a parallel in the VCR years, when major movie copiers (duplicating and selling hundreds to thousands of illicit copies to the public) would get busted, while authorities turned a blind eye to individuals that copied movies for each other. Keeping the former under control was enough to allow them to ignore the losses from the latter.
