Might I ask what is being done to stop it?

What fine or imprisonment do these thieves get?

They should be easy to track, since they are putting a program out there to be downloaded, why isnt the law after them?

I am betting there isnt anything being done.

Nope. There are lots of very effective ways to hide, or to point the finger at someone else (misdirection).

There's lots being done, partly by private individuals, partly by companies, partly by the law; but it's a cat-and-mouse game where the perps are constantly shifting place and strategy. It really is extraordinarily difficult to identify and catch the buggers, much less bring them to justice. But it does happen.

Of course there's an unending supply of highly motivated buggers...
