It is essential to do SOMETHING. That is beyond debate. Suing downloaders is unfortunate, I wish a better measure would present itself.
I am SURE of the following
1) It is not a solution
2) It will damage both sides, quite possibly do more damage to content producers than to down-loaders.
3) It is not good for the industry as a whole.
4) The issue could be exploited by those whose end goal is to increase online censorship.
Is it better or worse than doing nothing? I don't know.
