Exactly...these court suits are more for scare tactics than revenue.
Say I SOMEHOW got the courts to order you to pay me 100 trillion dollars...it doesn't mean that I'm that much richer. Many of the plantiffs on the RIAA/MPAA hunts are in such circumstances, where the full fine amounts could very well equal the family income for years to come.
Why do you think you've never seen any taken all the way to a jury? The customer doesn't want to risk it, nor does the media agency want the legal bother of pursecuting Joe Schmoe of his last nickel & dime. All the RIAA/MPAA wants is someone to hang, to exemplify them to all the other pirates that, "Thou Shall Not Steal". |
