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.

Musicians have historically made most of their money through their live shows and not through album sales.  As a graph already shows record companies give the bands practically nothing for their work.  Many musicians (including myself) are not against music pirating because in reality it doesn't hurt us the musicians it hurts the manipulative and greedy record corporations.
