But by
not going after the real pirates, are they really accomplishing more than just putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound?
Getting a warning letter from an ISP might very well deter people from downloading, temporarily, until they seek out means in which to gain access to it again (which there are plenty).
But to be effective, they need effective measures. Giving someone 5+ passes to figure out how to circumvent their tactics is not effective.
