They could, but then what? They could order sites to take down this sort of thing, but not everyone will comply, and it's too simple to just re-upload elsewhere. They could threaten to sue, and even go through with it, but that won't do much good either. These are usually individuals who won't be able to cough any significant amount of compensation, and the best they might be able to hope for is a jail term to discourage people from cracking their stuff.
It's a futile game of whack-a-mole that takes up too much time and resources, and could leave you with a bad reputation if you stuff up and inconvenience legitimate customers with your security measures.
