Depends upon the nature of the piracy. The FBI will get involved with commercial enterprise piracy.

It's the Software Business Alliance that gets ugly. But not so much with the casual independent home user. With businesses, which they see as making money off their products, will sue big time for piracy.

Although the SBA doesn't usually go pounding on doors of casual home users, they will go after DISTRIBUTORS in all forms. They have gone after people discussing such in CHAT ROOMS and people who run freeloading sites.
