Because they will always have people who support them, regardless of how mean they are, as long as there are people afraid of "pirating" this will never change.
I had a friend at work who said "People who pirate stuff are just as bad as burglers" to me. I had just been Burgled 2 weeks before Christmas.
I replied "Right so I'm as bad as the smack heads that robbed my kids presents, is that what you're saying?"
He did that thing folk do when they look like a fish breathing then tried to backtrack, but that's when he became a "work colleague" again.
