I suspect this is not going to go well when they find poor people who torrent for the community and try to squeeze them for blood in the courts, or find that an academic server is used to seed in it's idle time.
This figured into the cruel, heartless reputations of the MPA and RIAA that persist to this day.
Yeah, it says that they're all "well we would have rather do it the other way for your sakes" but the fact is that if they thought they could reliably obtain money this way they'd be doing it already. A ton of legal fees are going to be wasted pursuing people they can't catch for one reason or another, meaning that their desire to make the pirates pay their costs isn't going to work as reliably as they'd want.
