I don't quite follow the reasoning. Wouldn't it make more sense to make legit media consumption easier in countries with lax copyright enforcement and widesprea

  Yes it would — except, apparently, under Hollywood logic.

  Not if they think they can force those countries to tighten enforcement. I think these companies believe if they could just remove all the torrents from the web they'd get a sale for each torrent they stopped, whereas just making legit sales available will only capture a small portion of the potential market. I seriously doubt that's the case, but it might make sense for them to go this way - the money they spend buying politicians isn't much in the great scheme of things. It might even be cheaper than setting up an efficient worldwide distribution system.
