Does that tell you.

They are scared they will get found.

It's a good law. If you don't do anything wrong the courts won't reveal your IP. If you do something wrong they will. Then the company being stolen from can take it to the next level.

It's not a slam dunk, just another rung up the ladder to stop thieves.
They aren't even taking this to the courts. There's no repercussions for downloading anything you want from the internet. A few people have been sued by the MPAA and the RIAA, but that was just for show and tell.

I can download 100 new movies this week. Illegal or not is really irrelevant as they're nothing to stop me.
