Also, how would virgin know who to go after, even assuming they believed us? All we have is an IP, which could be faked. Even assuming the person talking about it was silly enough to fill out their profile with the right details, we still don't know they have.
Yes, there's just no incentive to act on information of that nature, or indeed to waste any resources tracking down individual offenders. Just like the police wouldn't waste much time tracking down individual drug users, it only makes sense to go after the dealers, and, as has apparently happened over the last few week or so, trying to disable the illegal boxes en masse through the encryption system.
