To be fair, WOTC has not said anywhere that I can find that they are doing this to combat piracy. They might start to sell them from wizards.com, in order to keep the proceeds themselves instead of allowing 3rd party vedors access to this. Who knows why, they haven't actually said anything.

The original source of the piracy info was a moderator on the WOTC forums who was told that it had to do with Piracy issues.
