The first link in the chain is really what you're after - without the first link, there's no chain.
If enough of your members will be scared and not share, there will be way less of those "chains" out there, and much less damage done to your copyrighted materials.
And you have a rock solid proof on file (literally lol) of who was the first link in that chain and leaked your content from member area - it is enough to even go after abusing member in court if you feel like that. You do not have to go after all of them who was in the chain, just the first one which is more than enough. Several of such precedents and even less surfers will go on sharing, thus even less "chains" out there.
