Because the rich owners of media companies can pay your government, the only entity with a monopoly on violence to act against your interest.

I don't condone piracy and I think the people infringing on an EULA should be punished if brought to a court by the infringed party.

This doesn't mean that the government should do the job for the, spy on you or even just make the job easier for them. Persecuting piracy is not convenient because the company involved is selling a lot of copies of their work, and therefore making money.

There is no reason for society to bear the cost of this exercise, if not corrupted government officials.
