Because it`s their only weapon, they do not have the resources to sue a big corp.
The only way to pressure them is to (hopefully temporary) stop development of xvid. By ignoring & continueing development you would give them a free ride. "Hey now we can use GPL source from other projects too, they don`t sue anyway ! And those code monkeys keep improving it for free;p "
Just wondering, would it be too late to sign over xvid copyright to the fsf ? I think we should set an example here. if it`s easy to violate the GPL other companies would be less reluctant to violate it...
