content owners decide not to go after them because legal fees are higher
than damages that the court would award.
Maybe they get a break that most copyright owners are from another country
and don't want to pursue it.
Other than that, they are finished.

I think you're totally confused and have it all wrong. This was not a copyright civil case, this was a criminal case. Individual companies can not bring criminal cases willy nilly against the owners. They will need to file in civil court. At least that's how it works over here.
