I am against the scattergun approach of threatening to sue a huge number of people based purely on IP addresses just in the hope that you scare enough of them into a payout to make a profit and not thinking at all about any repercussions that may affect future actual sales while being after a quick pension-pot now.

Its like going after crack addicts instead of the drug dealers. Why not go to the source of the problem??? Since they can't shut down the torrents / tube sites because of DMCA why not go after the people who put the content on the torrents? If there is nothing on the torrents then there is nothing to download.
