When Megaupload was seized, the MPAA (among others) threatened to sue individual users, but to the best of my knowledge it never happened.
Court costs at least $25 per suit, lawyer to do paperwork $50 hour (who knows how many hours), $10 per summons (IIRC), vs cost per song $1. Nope not worth bothering since the judge may or may not award court costs. Plus what you mentioned.
