Not that I am overly familiar with the "scene", but this seems to be mainly the case for people who are using this to turn a profit in the first place, uploading something to rapidshare or some other host which pays them for each download, then complain about "illegal" mirrors. As you say, delightfully ironic.
They fail to see the irony, and they fail to realize one simple fact-- once something has been made available on the internet-- it is available on the internet.
