They target out the poor little person, because they have to make examples of anyone they can prosecute to show, that this is wrong, and you can get busted.
People who "share" files, think its a victimless crime, or that they are just not allowing fat cats to profit, but in reality, its hurting the artists who make money for the use of their music on the movie, the actors and those involved that get points on the sales, etc.
Sharing = stealing and people do get financially harmed by the downloaders actions!

They have targeted some online file sharing people. However, they have also targeted people that have shared good songs, with just a few friends.
If I buy "anything" and I share it with a friend or two, and not sell it to them. Nothing is illegal about that, and nothing should ever be illegal about that, it does not harm anyone in anyway. If anything, it's an example of the best self-marketing-promotion you could ever ask for.
They don't always fight the good fight - if they had it their way they would charge you for every play, every time in your home.
