I wish I had a better solution, but i dont. I do own intellectual property but not a ton.
I think if you going to go after end users you need to prove that they downloaded it. Get a court order to seize there computer and actually prove they downloaded the file. You will probably find a lot more this way and create an opening for other lawsuits by non adult major companies.
I know its more cost effective to just go after everyone, but there will be consequences for going after someone who really didnt download anything.
Dont get me wrong I do hate torrent users.
As a webmaster if im promoting a movie or site and the visitor can just do a search for the movie that they want to see and download illegally instead of paying, well there goes my sale.
I just think that suing a handful of people that are innocent far outweighs the thousands that did. The adult industry already has a black eye and making people scared will probably not help in the long run.
I truly hope that going after end users will help the adult biz and not hurt it.
