So on the one day you can all have together they choose to leave you alone.

But if you took away the sites that easily facilitate piracy's ability to make money it would make it harder for those people that are just doing it for fun to actually carry it out. They still could and likely would find some way to do it, but it would make it harder and it might make it so that the average person wasn't able to pirate stuff as easily as they are today.
