Is a line in the nfo file going to make them feel guilty and go out and pay? I don't think so.

Where do you think the files originate from? Someone has to purchase a product to pirate that product (and they would anyway, especially the big groups). If anything, piracy (or sharing as it should be called because that other word is loaded, incorrect and sloppy) is responsible for building interest. It's free advertising. This isn't a chicken and egg situation. There's lots of chickens and lots of eggs and a lot of people are buying both.
