Are they specifically chasing films i've never heard of before? Well I have heard of Steam Experiment but none of the others. Maybe they were all genuinely shit so chasing pirates is the only way to make money from them.
They are only going after the movies made by the independent studios that have signed on to use their services. So far, that only includes a bunch of shitty movies made by Uwe Boll and the studio that made Hurt Locker and a few other independents.

The MPAA seen how badly the RIAA failed with their mass lawsuits so they are steering clear of suing downloaders. Not just because of the negative backlash, but because it doesn't make money:
