The people seeking out your work on P2P networks like your work. They want it. Quit slapping their hands and focus on getting products in front of them that they're willing to pay for.
Sorry, but that's a ridulous argument. It's like say "Stop punishing car thieves - the fact that they steal your cars mean that they like them. Why don't you stop developing security systems and concentrate on making cheaper cars so that people will buy them rather than steal them?"
