In this case they are going after the people that actually downloaded the movie, not the site they downloaded it from.
Fighting the sites is a much bigger endeavor because of DMCA and other rules/laws. There are many groups targeting the sites themselves, but these guys go after the individual downloaders which are probably a lot easier to get settlements out of.
