Any of the rights holders for the show can authorize these notices, as their ownership of/rights to the content doesn't depend on licensing or whether a show is otherwise available in the affected markets. Companies generally feel that free availability of their properties overseas interferes with their control over the distribution process. Showgate would be one of the beneficiaries when the show does get licensed and distributed in North America and other markets. In any event, the reason we don't see this all that often is just due to the cost; the likelihood of legal follow-through is pretty low due to the effort required. They're hoping that getting the word out, along with ToS enforcement by ISPs, will help their cause. But regardless, fansubs are always illegal, whether the show is licensed or not, so this is always a risk you take.
