And to hell with those that were innocent but whose lives were wrecked.

I have zero interest in going after folks who didn't do anything. I just want to put an end to people stealing content. And nobody is going to have their lives "wrecked". The settlement is small. And it sends a message to the masses. You are kinda over-exaggerating this.
The only person who would have their lives "wrecked" would be the thief who thinks he can fight it and ends up with his hard drive being examined by professionals in court. THEN he's gonna pay big time including court costs.
