Thanks Smoot...

I had no idea... I read an article in WSJ that didn't indicate the user was at risk of legal action. Crazy stuff.

If they are going to prosecute someone, It would most likely be at a university, or some other concentrated group of people so the lawsuit would help directly affect piracy.

These movie companies don't want to spend money to prosecute some "joe shmoe" that no-one will here about. They want to go to major university where the word will get out, and they'll be able to recover the consumers that were lost by piracy. People who used to go to alluc.org will here about the lawsuit, freak out, and buy "the office" instead of streaming it.

The music industry has been doing a similar assault.

In Sweden, there is literally different parties that represent pro-piracy and anti-piracy laws. You probably would correctly assume that the major movie companies are heavily pouring in resources for the piracy laws to take effect, saying as how Sweden hosts probably upwards of 75% of these files.
