Wal-Mart successfully reduced it's liability risk by aggressively fighting all lawsuits, frivolous or not. Many tort attorneys were turned off to suing Wal-Mart because of this. They knew they would not get a quick settlement.

Similarly, I think all crews that are attacked by pirates should scuttle the ship. The cargo is lost either way. If the pirates realize they cannot ransom cargo, they will stop seizing ships.
What do you think the crew care more about? Their lives or the cargo?
