Lawyers will end up costing you more than "serving" some guy who hasn't got any money to begin with. Best thing is to secure your content, and then hire removeyourcontent.com for a hundred bucks a month and problem solved.

You'd spend more money "serving" ONE guy in a day than you will securing your content and paying removeyourcontent.com in a year.

Simple business decision.
agree with you to a point, but if some of the larger programs were to initiate some of these suits, it would send a strong message to the users and uploaders that they could find themselves facing court and the publicity that surrounds it

I'm sure that if some individuals were named, it would send shockwaves through the torrent and uploader communities, and you would see 99% of them not want to upload anymore

this is why stopping happily after a selfish dmca content removal request is successful doesn't really chip away at the problem at all, whereas some cut and dry lawsuits against the uploaders and torrent users would be huge
