Yeah, tell that to Thomas-Rasset. Ordered to pay $220,000 for sharing 24 songs on Kazaa.
Many others have had their internet connections cut off or worse.

It's absolutely absurd that you would ignore the reality on the ground for hundreds of millions to pretend that the ultra-rare exception is somehow the rule. Be honest: have you stolen ANYTHING online ever? Have you ever been caught?
