It has been proven that suing indivduals doens't work. They have have gone after 1000's of people with some cases getting big victories for them and making headlines and yet piracy just keeps growing. Going after the companies hasn't been much more effective. Both the Pirate Bay and Isohunt have been dragging out litigation for years now.

I guess they have decided that this might inconvenience people enough that they will stop. Depending on where you live you may only have a few options when it comes to broadband ISPs so you burn your bridges at those places you could be out of luck. Maybe the threat of that will be enough.
