And when this happens these people tell the company that are doing so.

Not really, it's research from the NPD Digital Music Study 2010-2011, as it says at the bottom of the graph showing only 21% of sharing is online.

Which is where NPD Digital Music Study got it's data from.
Like I said the upside down world of pirates.
Yes you live in the upside down world as well. Go read it again. The judge said;
Judge: 17,000 illegal downloads don't equal 17,000 lost sales

Maybe they've realised that it is a waste of time and money to pursue the online piracy business. They've spent billions and taken years and years and piracy has increased. So, they'd clearly be better off doing something else.

Yes agreed. This is a much better route. Settling out of court to get a sum of money and the data the piracy sites have. Like IP, email, payment details, content, dates and times of infringement and taking the pirates to court. first send a letter telling them to get a lawyer to advise them, reply with their excuse and offer of settlement. Then rinse and repeat, plus pass the list on to other producers. For them to use.
This would be a huge cash cow and scare the shit out of pirates.

Interestingly, do you know how much money the RIAA recovery goes back to the artist? None. Not a cent. Interesting eh?

Do you know how much of the piracy industry goes back to the creators?
I told you it's an upside down world they live in.
If it smells like a shit, looks like a shit, odds on it is a shit.
