Do you know if there have been any cases like that recently? I know there have been for those running sharing sites or servers but haven't really heard of them going after single users like they used to.
I can see them going after crackers/encoders or those that run piracy services and are part of scene groups, but it doesn't seem worth it for users any more. With the perpetually online world most people who aren't even that techy know how to pirate these days.
I mean it probably costs them more in lawyer fees than any money they can get from joe bloggs downloading a few movies or tv shows.
