You are of course correct, but you misunderstand the PR machine. Apple can easily claim they are combatting piracy, and 99.5% of all people will accept that as doctrine. The truth doesn't matter.

But people benefit from piracy, so I doubt people will support Apple here. Media companies on the other hand…
> But people benefit from piracy
the benefit is private. Nobody would publicly claim they support piracy, because it's too politically incorrect.
So the PR machine doesn't have a hard job at all convincing law makers of a non-truth, despite privately that people would generally not agree with said non-truth.

Many in Europe do, there are even political parties for that.
People benefit from robbery too. Words have still a meaning and we should at least try to word it in a way which sounds legal.
