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.
