That's impossible.

 

It'd be too much effort to do so. It's better to let some people pirate than to focus on making most people who pirate go to jail

I don't think they would need more than a couple dozen people to make an example of to make people think twice.  Charge them together with the site owners as an ongoing criminal enterprise under the RICO Act.  If my memory serves, they could be all charged collectively with the charges.  Just make sure you pick members who are particularly bad (as in, they have consistently and frequently chosen to pirate instead of purchase) and the case would be pretty open shut   And that's easily 2.5 to 10 years in prison along with potentially thousands in fines.  If they wanted to make an example of true criminal copyright infringers and help stem the tide on that front, that's the way they could do it.

So target the people who pirate on a consistent basis? Sounds smart.

 

Also, who is the person from your profile picture?
