What some people don't realise is law is all about precedent. Precedents established in previous cases are learned from for future cases.

When a case is won a precedent is established, when it's lost a lesson is learned. Established precedents are repeated, lost cases are learned from and improve the next case.

ACS screwed up and made mistakes. Mistakes that won't be repeated by other lawyers and law firms in the future. Their failure i's good for the future.

So unless laws are established to protect downloaders this will continue. And lawyers will get better.

Yes lawyers protecting the accused will also get better, but that's not going to stop the guilty getting punished.
