Stopping such a massive piracy (i.e. decimating it to rare occurrences) is easy. But like with simple plastic credit cards vs. complicated microchip, etc... - the current losses is less than the cost of changing the situation. In case of piracy there is also additional issue of separation of who is paying or to pay - piracy losses are carried by private business, where is any action against the piracy would involve weapons - thus it is to be carried and paid by the government(s).
