They target out the poor little person, because they have to make examples of anyone they can prosecute to show, that this is wrong, and you can get busted.
People who "share" files, think its a victimless crime, or that they are just not allowing fat cats to profit, but in reality, its hurting the artists who make money for the use of their music on the movie, the actors and those involved that get points on the sales, etc.
Sharing = stealing and people do get financially harmed by the downloaders actions!

first of all the mpaa is been going way over board in the last little while
a majority of the 15 million dollar judgement is for lost season 1 downloads
- they are using the most expensive way to aquire the content as cost allocation (dvd sales)
- they are treating the 99.5% of cable tv subscriber who are really only using the torrents as a VCR (to timeshift their viewing right) as infringers
what they are trying to do is artifically extend their monopoly in primary distribution into the fair use time shifting distribution that they are supposed to compete equally.
