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.
