I know several other studios in Los Angeles are about to file suit as well, along with a few more web companies. This is going to be the buzz for the rest of the year and well into 2011.
If you run the numbers, lets say you find only 1000 people who have stolen 1 video/movie of yours. Even if 20% pay you, at $500 a payment, that's not too shabby at all. Even if 10% pay you, you are still making out. Then if you have 100s of files stolen and 1000s and 1000s of violators... it's payday. Do the math. Minus legal of course, but some attorneys are working for a piece of the money. I doubt the idiots here can fathom all of this, but it is a lot of money if just a small amount pay you.
There are a few who have been quietly doing this (in the gay market) for a few months and are cleaning house with it. They say they have around a 60% payout rate so far.
