I don't think it works like that. They own the copyrighted content, so they can leak it on the internet. Also, they're not police officers, and they're merely providing the opportunity to download it, instead of coercing people into doing it. Also, and probably most importatnly, the courts are much more likely to side with a large corporation with millions upon millions of dollars han some guy/girl downloading content who doesn't have a vast amount of savings.

TBH I don`t think a large coproration with millions of dollars is going to care about suing some random person for downloading a file illegally. There`s literally nothing to gain from it except bad PR. Very much doubt any court would be all that interested either... just imagine being sued for illegally downloading a $1 song or something It would be like McDonalds suing somebody for taking a Big Mac without paying... except with these circumstances it would have been a Bic Mac from a "free Big Macs stand".

Well, that's why it's so easy to access and download pirated content It's futile trying to stop it since it's so rampant.
