The problem with going after downloaders is that since it is virtually impossible to prove guilt the corporations have bought new laws that do away with the presumption of innocence and put the burden of proof on the accused. Or paid for the punishment for downloading to be made wildly out of proportion to any alleged harm it might cause.
