Now that made me laugh on this gloomy Monday morning.
I think most of these forays into lawyering are really just attempts to educate the population (and provoke discussions like this one) rather than serious attempts to stop piracy. The big numbers and dog sued for downloading porn are just (misguided?) attempts to get news coverage.
I can't see any way that piracy can be eliminated (especially with books as the files are tiny). Removing the inconvenience of DRM and high prices may help but it won't stop it completely. For some, any price is too high.
