Copies made under copyleft (and other public licenses) are not pirated (illegal). Copies made under copyleft (and other public licenses) are lawfully made and initially are owned by the licensees (legal persons making use of the reproduction right... downloading without a license contract aside for a moment). Thus copies made under copyleft (and other public licenses) fall under exhaustion doctrine preventing copyright owners (licensors) using tort theory (copyright infringement claims) regarding control of terms and conditions for further distribution.
