I know I would, but as there ARE comebacks and punishments, I'm not.
So there you go, an example of comebacks having an impact on piracy.

I think his point isn't that there is no potential danger in being involved in piracy, but that the battle against piracy has failed to yield positive results. It is kind of like the war on drugs. We have spent billions, maybe trillions in the war on drugs yet they are just as easy to get today as they every have been, the purity of them is at an all time high and after all that money little has changed because about the same number of people (percentage of the population wise) still use drugs.
The same can be said with Piracy. They sometimes get a win against people. They spend a lot of money and they make a lot of noise, but it doesn't seem to have curbed the amount of piracy online.
Anyway, I think that is what he meant, but I'm just guessing.
