Now that there is no need for any evidence they will be able to go after downloaders much more aggressively. Just put something up for download, collect all the IP's that try to download it, and away you go. It wouldn't even need to be the actual product you put up for download, it could just be an mp3, video or ebook that said "Ha ha ha, we got you! Say goodbye to your internet."
