Because many "pirates", especially the more competent ones, are motivated in part by the sheer immorality of the copyright extensions (or so many have claimed here on HN and a few other places I frequent). In many ways, copyright enforcement is in a similar place to the enforcement of Prohibition at the end of the 1920s, where otherwise law-abiding citizens willingly broke what they considered bad law.
