Why do small countries bother enforcing anti-piracy?

Small countries? Italy has a population of 60m people.

In Italy's case, it will be its long track record of poor governance combined with the close intertwining of media interests and political parties. Live sport is just about all these subscription broadcasters have left, so a vicious defense is to be expected.
