However, if piracy is going to be called a crime, then there is protocol for how to deal with crime. It's either to be taken seriously as a "real crime" or it isn't. If it's a crime, treat it like one and follow procedure.

The law can help you deal with a crime, but there's no obligation to use it. If someone steals from you, you're perfectly entitled to march up and down outside his house with a placard saying "John Smith is a thief", until he pays you back, rather than reporting the matter to the police, if that's your preference. "Name and shame" can be a very effective way of dealing with a problem.
