However, copyright law provides for injunctions to prevent
ongoing infringement, so it does not matter if it would be
more beneficial for the infringers to continue infringing.
They will be prevented from doing so.

    § 502. Remedies for infringement: Injunctions
    (a) Any court having jurisdiction of a civil action arising
    under this title may, subject to the provisions of section
    1498 of title 28, grant temporary and final injunctions on
    such terms as it may deem reasonable to prevent or restrain
    infringement of a copyright.
