I'm still waiting for your proof in the other thread, btw.

The RIAA did these lawsuits for over 3 years. Was it profitable? 64:1 margin, no.
These lawsuits aren't meant to generate profit. They are meant to scare people away from pirating. Think of it as an advertising expense. A cost of business, if you will.

If it's successful or not...that remains to be seen, but I don't see these producers as getting or trying to get rich from suing, rather spending that money to protect future profits.
