Pirates are always looking for justification for their actions: Company A rips off their clients, using Hollywood accounting, Company B has sunk great amounts of money into pushing copyrights longer,... This kind of action really helps pirates see the companies as evil, and thus to be righteously plucked. I think that it's a bad move, in the psychological wars. Treating your artistic clients and customers well is probably the best way to get many pirates to pay up. Fat chance of that, though.
