It's really not that hard to grasp.
Internet Piracy is not stealing, it is not theft. It is copying, it is copyright infringement.
Copyright owners already have a legal system in place to protect and manage their copyrights and fight copyright infringement.
Making copyright infringement criminal instead of civil doesn't grant you any more "power" in the legal system against someone. In fact, you then have less power because you then have to rely on the police filing the case instead of you being able to do it yourself.
