Then you go after those people again. Selling physical bootleg items is much higher risk and you need much more infrastructure. Sure, there will always be crime. But you can't just throw up your hands and say "ok, we will just go ahead and let you break the law since we can't totally eradicate crime". You keep crime to a minimum and everyone wins (except the criminals, of course!). It doesn't take too much effort, actually. Small scale criminals scare easily.
