I can't wait for the first one to go to court.
Hey STUPID have you seen other cases of pirates being taken to court? One comes to mind with the defendant being given a $500,000 fine. I predict one of these pirates will get taking to court, will get his ass handed to him by the judge and it will make a lot of others think twice before ignoring the letters.

(And sending me a letter saying you think I am a pirate and demanding 500 bucks will not be accepted as evidence).

9) False accusations against a person or company. We all want to know what companies and individuals have done you wrong. Just make sure you back any claims you make up with solid proof. If you plan on calling someone a scammer, liar, cheat, or anything else, have your proof in order and post it with your claim. False accusations will be grounds for immediate banning.

if you don't think so, lets see some links to some court proceeding transcripts of successful cases that were filed....
No you're wrong for the reasons I stated. A lawsuit will happen and it will be a positive for those fighting piracy.
