The contract laws recognize a concept called "efficient breach" which *encourages* breach of (enforcable) obligations if it's economically efficient to do so.
However, copyright law provides for injunctions to prevent ongoing infringement, so it does not matter if it would be more beneficial for the infringers to continue infringing.
