D = CV*min(1,FR/FV)-CR. Demand curve of a media market. C is commercial, V is value, F is non-paying, R is risk. Each is a distribution. Media only has value if you apply risk to a non-paying party. Learn how copyright works.
The point isn't that a perception of risk prevents some people from copying media. It's that most people perceive no risk and still pay for media. The perception of risk is unnecessary.

I can only assume all those groups are honeypots. Surely no one would be so stupid as to use a google service to share something that dangerous.

Will applying more FR shrink or grow the market?

That's demonstrably not true though: You can download almost any media risk free these days, but people still pay for it.

You can't do it entirely risk free, and there is a perception of risk distribution. Some people perceive risk if they torrent. That's what matters.
Are you telling me Justin Bieber wouldn't want downloading his music to be an instant felony charge?

He probably would, but it won't help drive sales.
