Adapting to the reality of piracy would probably mean lower prices. Why do that when they can just stick the government with the cost of enforcement and then keep prices high? Plus lobbying costs are a fraction of the enforcement costs. Not saying it's right, but unfortunately such is the perverse relationship between big business and government nowadays.
