Indeed.
And don´t forget there are huge amounts of money already made by fighting torrents in Germany. The solution is simple. The copyright owner catches the IP address of a filesharing client. He gets a court order against the provider to deliver the person behind the IP. Now a lawyer contacts the person behind the IP and usually demands both, recovery of damages and lawyers´fees. Common amounts are between ? 250 and ? 1200.
There are a couple of thousands per month. About 33% pay on demand, about 30% pay after the second letter. Only a few really go to court.
