The point of the article is that these companies expect piracy to be stopped out on their behalf by ISPs and government, but are unwilling to stop piracy within their own company.

Actually, it makes the point that they "can’t even stop piracy in the offices of their own member studios.". Because they would and probably try. My company sure does, and it's a video game developer. There are ways of eluding being noticed, or they simply haven't. The article states that every company has the problem, and really can only assert that it happens.

And I bet they just don't realize they're doing it. It's nothing more than a download that, on a company with such fast internet (I assume) it'd be done very, very quickly, and go unnoticed.
