You wrote "whatever their OCR spits out".
As per Google's definition, OCR lets you convert images with text into text documents using automated computer algorithms.
And my question was: Why do you assume, pirates would handle images, thus needing OCR, instead of processing the digital files that usually exist already.
Maybe there are copy protections that can't be cracked yet. But even then it would be more efficient and accurate quality-wise, to process the digital data. Manually in the worst case. Still better and faster than OCR.
