Since they are suing everyone individually, if we all fight it and drag it out in court, they would go out of business before they’ll see a dime.

I am coming to the conclusion these lawsuits are being filed to get the easy cash from the defendants that cave in early and pay the settlement offer. Otherwise there is really no other reason to file them since it doesn’t stop illegal downloads. I don’t think they ever intend to fight every case in court.
