If they really wanted to put an end to this, they wouldn't be by going after end users. They would go the root of the problem. But they don't, because they just want to extort money out of anyone they can.
They don't want to make a change, they just want to make some change.

I am only assuming but this is my guess.
You sue enough end users, you then prove that the conduits are being used for nefarious purposes rather than legitimate ones. You then have the power to sue them for contributory infringement, negligence, etc etc.
You then also have the power to require checks and balances to sharing networks and require that all files to be shared pass through human filters that are required to deal with copyright issues.
just a guess.
You can't avoid the fact that the end users are breaking the law willingly. Just becasue they are small time in comparison doesn't change that they are doing it.
