The guys who SHARE the materia should be held responsible, ie. The guys who upload the stuff to rapidshare, seed torrents or share their collections on P2P.

I agree 100%, but the problem is even though Napster was taken down there are still tons of places you can download free music or movies online. Maybe you can curtail it to an extent by putting fear into people by cease and desist letters and phone calls in the US but I wonder what can be done overseas. Hmmm...I have to say this idea seriously intrigues me and I would love to explore it further. Even if you can't get rid of the problem completely you can still do enough damage to put more money back into the pockets of the copyright holders.
