Google built the product without fully considering that problem, and now regular users are paying the price.
In any case, it shouldn't be difficult for the product to make a distinction between files openly available and files being used privately within the drive on accounts that should look very legitimate to Google. The copyright filter would make a bit more sense on openly accessible files. Even then, why is Google going so far beyond what's legally required of them?
