Copyright wars and money good spend

I read here that the people going tothe oscars get a 85000 $ worth of journeys and god knows what else.

"Losing at the Oscars isn't losing at all: With a consolation gift bag of $85,000 worth of free goodies, even the most disheartened nominee won't be going home empty-handed. Included in Oscar gift bags will be vouchers for three vacations: an $85,000 African safari with a personal chef, a $14,500 stay in Monaco, and a $7,000 trip to Connecticut. Also included are gift cards for online shopping, gourmet chocolate, an indoor skydiving experience, and fitness classes. All this without mention of the year of free Altoids and a "green" mattress..."

So let me get this straight. You prosecute people for downloading movies illegally, asking them to pay thousands if not millions of dollars due to copyrighted material theft and then you go and make 85000 $ gifts to people who get paid with salaries of 6, 7 and 8 digit numbers ? WTF?
