No need for that, just buy a mailing list, mail people saying you have 'proof' they downloaded your midget porn and blackmail them. MILES easier. Whole new rev stream.

Ever hear of the term receiving stolen property? .

Yup. In cases like that there is usually STOLEN PROPERTY that the lawyers can show you have. You know, in a court and stuff.
In these cases, there is no PROOF. There is a FILE NAME. And an IP address. No actual proof the person you are suing downloaded the file. No proof the file is your content. Just a file name and an IP. Which is why the movie industry and the music industry stopped suing downloaders. However, the porn industry has a whole new angle. The embarrassment. Genius.
If they are going to the bloke's house, seizing his PC, finding the file and proving he stole it, fair enough. But they aren't. Are they?
In most decent societies, someone has to prove someone stole something. Here, I just see blackmail with no proof.
