You are correct. They have sued a ton of people and won a ton of settlements and it had zero effect on slowing piracy down. All I am saying is that if they are effective in shutting down some sites and score some big wins in court they can set some legal precedence and that might make going after users a little more effective and simply. If they just start hammering the users of this this program right out the gate they could create a culture of fear surrounding it and keep it from getting popular.

Likely, however, that won't happen and these companies would be better served to just seed tons of fake files to water the system down and make finding what you want on this software difficult and frustrating.
