They will be fined, they'll declare bankrupt and handover their one server and the internet modem. They'll buy another server off ebay, get internet connection under different name and address and come back in 6 months time (maximum)! Even if they were fined 1 trillion dollars, still they will not pay anything because they will have nothing to show as assets. Imprisonment might deter these people, but then who has ever said no to a free lunch (or supper or breakfast, for that matter?) The copy right enforcement system is still in the age of clandestine printing machines and garden-shed brewerage plants. They can never catch the 'big bad internet pirate' with this setup. Fine them a million or a billion or even a trillion, recording industry in particular and 'culture industry' in general will reach the end of the wooden bit within a few years. Oh the brave new world of artistic freedom, death of an industry that hypes up trash and controls our tastes and artists' careers. They have decided the fate of sinkers and floaters long enough. Time to walk the plank, mate!
