1. You are after older games, so you are probably older, and less likely to be a thief. (And even less likely to write screeds about how you aren't really stealing it.)
2. The games have already gone through the peak of their popularity cycle, so they have already captured the bulk of their revenue. Anything now is just a bonus.
3. The price is so low that they don't lose much to piracy even if someone steals it.
I haven't even made it all the way through the last bunch of things I got from GoG, but when I do I'm headed right back there to get some more stuff.
You know gog sell new games now too? For instance 18% (roughly) of the witcher 2s sales were on gog.
Also they've become a distributor of new indie games like fez or legend of grimrock
