One of the things a government does is decide what is right and wrong for its citizens. Additionally, if you don't like to be told what is right/wrong I suggest you move to a remote island that no nation has claims to.
Thats like saying you see someone walking across the street with their eyes closed and you shouldn't say to them that it isn't a good idea simply because they don't want to be told they are wrong. If someone informed me of something I was doing wrong, I would be grateful, I wouldn't be angry. Whereas, now that he has been informed that it is a crime, perhaps he will decide he doesn't want to do it, because before he didn't know it was a crime.
So why should we not tell him this? It is your opinion that if you see someone committing a crime, and they may very well not even know it is a crime, you shouldn't tell them? In the US there is an old legal saying, "ignorance is no excuse." If he got arrested for copyright infringment, he couldn't simply tell the police "I didn't know it was a crime," they don't care. Regardless of whether you agree with it, in the US, copyright infringment (including transfering warez or mp3s) is illegal. There is a different between right/wrong (morality) and legal/illegal (legality). my point is, if they think it's wrong and are not going to help.
