Not sure if this is a retarded idea or not, but I constantly see people complaining about piracy, and it's a legitimate gripe. These huge lawsuits that try to sue like 12,000 people in one go with hopes of a multi-million dollar settlement are pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.

Why not just get laws passed to treat illegally downloading a movie torrent the same as a speeding ticket via photo radar is treated now? I'm sure the film & music industries have enough lobbying power in Washington. When someone illegally downloads a movie, a $40 bill shows up in the mailbox the IP address is registered to. If you don't pay it, it gets passed onto a collection agency.

Once tens of thousands of people start getting these $40 bills in the mail, it'd probably persuade them to actually buy the movie for $12, or whatever. Or no?
