Your logical fallacies are whataboutism and false dichotomy. Copyright lawsuits do not detract from other issues. Copyright is a civil matter, whereas the ones you mention are criminal ones. The police and the US' various secret services are not involved in copyright issues.
> The Crown also revealed that police had handed seized hard drives to FBI staff who copied them at the police crime lab in South Auckland and sent the copies back to the US. Justice Winkelmann ruled that the handing of hard drives seized by New Zealand police in the raid to the FBI was in breach of extradition legislation, and the FBI's removal from New Zealand of cloned data from them was unlawful.
How do copyright issues not detract from other issues? There is clearly a finite amount of resources available to allocate to all our earthly concerns.
The FBI and other agencies are often involved in raids and arrests, and actively seize websites that are supposedly used for piracy. I don't understand how you can argue that it is a civil matter that does not involve law enforcement. Just search "fbi raid bittorrent", there are plenty of examples.
Piracy historically referred to illicit printed copies created for unauthorized unlicensed material benefit to the copier, without demanded licensing terms or in absence of negotiations toward such licensing. The copyright lobby ensured it broadened to cover digital reproductions on shaky epistemological grounds imo.
