Yeah, it says that they're all "well we would have rather do it the other way for your sakes" but the fact is that if they thought they could reliably obtain money this way they'd be doing it already. A ton of legal fees are going to be wasted pursuing people they can't catch for one reason or another, meaning that their desire to make the pirates pay their costs isn't going to work as reliably as they'd want.
