I haven't seen those posters, but those are also quite telling about their world view. Piracy sites can and do expose people to all kinds of nasty stuff, but everyone knows (or should know) that and they take the risk anyway. The media companies would rather assume that's because people are evil and like to steal things, than to do a little introspection and see it's their own bad service driving customers to piracy.

There's even a great case study for this in another type of media: Steam, despite its faults, has almost eradicated game piracy. Piracy is an access problem.
