You only think it is overzealous becasue of the scope and scale.
How can one kid really be causing a problem, right? Not in comparison to a factory or big business ripping you off?
Well, because it's not just one 17 year old kid. It's 20 million or 50 million or 100 million (worldwide) doing the same thing everywhere. It's a small individual problem, yet a huge international problem.
Why prosecute the 17 year old kid (or a 32 year old single mother of three)? Because he deserves it. Get a fuckin job and pay for it like you should. Theft is theft.
