I like how you use of the term "lawsuit victims." This leads me to question, do you view murderers as victims of their upbringing, thus sympathizing with them over their dead victims? Was Mumia Abu Jamal the victim when he shot and killed Daniel Faulkner during a routine traffic stop?

As for lawyers, they win financially no matter the outcome of the case.

I like your strange irrelevant statement. It makes me wonder if you view Pol Pot as some misdirected chef instead of the mass murderer he actually was.

The relevance is in sympathizing with the perpetrators rather than the victims who in this case are the individual musicians and their record labels.

A term such as "lawsuit victim" implies the reverse, which in my opinion is false.

Civil cases surrounding concepts like copyright are completely different to criminal cases involving murder and have nothing to do with each other. Its a complicated subject and both sides do wrong, even to the extent that some people see artists as being greater victims of the publishers/record companies than they are of file sharers.
