There are no Innocent people, everybody is guilty of something, so no argument there.

If pirates really care let them fund the legal defense of the innocent. This will bring down rogue lawyers a lot faster than anything else. But pirates love to see the innocent accused. It gives them a reason to point the finger at those chasing them.

Nope, but they will develop means to protect those who use the tools themselves, see my previous reply

The fight against pirates has just started and it will be perfected in the future.

Don't count on it. It will get perfected, but the other way around. The industry will have a hell of a time catching them, and an even harder time pursuing them.

The good thing about this is the publicity it's getting. Pirates must be thinking "What if I get caught?" As it escalates the fear factor will kick in more and more. This will deter some.

Don't count on it. This will speed up the process in developing secure transfers, perfect encryption methods, and will make networks like TOR more popular. We're not just late in this fight, we're too late. People don't scare that easy, as you can see when you look at the action from the Music and Movie industry. They utilize the same means, yet torrents, P2P tools, Filesharing hosts are more popular then ever. And that's without considering usenet, which is another major source.
It's a fight you cannot win, and therefore pointless. Waste of time, effort and money better spend in other more profitable ways.
