The Law is all about the precise use of legal words. I don't think that they want to go down this slippery slope. Copyright infringement is exactly what it is, and is likely what people consider they are doing when they copy. Deliberately lying to them about the offence is unlikely to set them on the straight and narrow road. I think, instead, it would help them feel less guilty when they consider that they're copying stuff from liars and corruptors.
