Is fixing "casual piracy" even going to make a dent in their spreadsheet? I doubt it.

Such "casual piracy" is legal in my country, at least when it comes to music (and we pay for the priviledge, unfortunately). Publishers shouldn't mess with my rights.

It sounds like they believe there are more potential sales there than there are from other forms of pirates. (Whether that's true or not is anyone's guess!)
