Have you actually weighed ALL the costs involved in taking on a protracted copyright infringement lawsuit?

I agree - something needs to be done about infringement. But considering even the simple logistics...its more easily said than actually done.
err, most is shared over file hosts and they dont need any court action ... a properly formatted complaint/DCMA will do ... i reported some uploads yesterday and today they are gone! you really think file hosters wanna deal with the court? NO! they fall easily ... bottomline: report what you find no matter what ya think will happen ... smth WILL happen ... or, sit there jiggling balls and think "hey, someone will do smth bout it" ... yes, WE CAN! make a change happen
