The psychology behind your reasoning is that pirating software is nothing worth
bothering about. It's an invitation for others to do the same. And, you are
ignoring the financial consequences for Joe and Brutal Deluxe. I agree with you
that there may be well soem cases where some teen bozo was pirating without
even knowing about legal issues, but this here is intentional. If you had a 
look at the e-mails from Charlez, you'd realize that this Convert3200 & Co
campaign is not just a lapsus but a *plan*.

If you would like to see your very own intellectual property, fortune and
possessions protected, then don't make exceptions only because it's happening
far away from you.
