To me, what that article is saying is that the damages awarded by copyright infringement suits are more profitable than the business itself. We have the same problem in the US. The RIAA is trying to claim "statutory damages" instead of "actual damages", and the laws are so outrageous that they award grossly inflated statutory damages in civil copyright cases.
The only thing that tells me is that the damages are way too high and the laws are badly written.
