I think you're being naive, not that they can extract money from you, but that you value your time so little. Imagine the pain in the ass a lawsuit would be.

I know this is part of the strategy of "Big Media", but the real solution is for the content producers to self publish (since the middle man takes too much of a cut and isn't providing the value they used to (i.e. trucking your CD to the store))
However, this doesn't justify that the content producer doesn't get paid if you pirate shit. In the long run I expect prices to drip and content producers to increase profits, but that's still a few years away.
- fmora 16y agoI used to think like this also. Then I was in a car accident. The lawsuit lasted 1.5 years. 99.999% of that time was just spent waiting. The actual work that I had to do during that time was like 2 hours. Mainly one for the deposition. If you go to the judge you expose your case to the judge, it takes about an hour. Of course, this is from the point of view that says you have nothing to loose. Although, I know what you mean. I rather avoid it if I can.
