It seems the sensible people realise that suing end users is a bad idea, and now they've simply run out of verticals to approach.

So one company stops and many others carry on. This company seems like scum bags, the new ones will learn.

Yes, it's because they want to get known, get famous, get their press releases out. At the panel on this subject I was on at interNEXT a very good point was raised. That if this is about stopping piracy, which everyone would want to do, then why not go after the rippers and uploaders? You can find those guys just as easily, if not more so.
Think about this.

The more publicity it gets the better.

It's obvious. Because it's not about stopping piracy. It's about making money.

Maybe you should take a leaf out of my book and learn to make money. Then you can get out of that dump you live in. I know I keep going on about it. Like you keep going on about me living in Czech.
Learn from the marketing genius.
