I have no empathy at all for a billion dollar industry that feels the urge to sue students and housewives for millions of dollars; more money than they'll probably make in three lifetimes.
The MPAA and RIAA are their own worst enemies in the public's eyes.
If someone downloads a $10 CD, you might be justified to go after them for $50 or $100, but certainly not for any more than that. Problem there is, the lawyers wouldn't find it worthwhile to deal with it.
I would really like to see the courts put a stop to those kinds of suits once and for all. Some Judges have started to make a stand and I hope others follow.
