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?

Well that came out of nowhere xD

It's no one, really.  It's a picture of a monochromatic colored pencil drawing done by competitor in the high school art competition I used to compete in.  She was one of the main artists who competed against the best that were at my school.  This was one of her best works and I like it quite a bit.  I would use one of my own drawings but a set of watches doesn't make for a good profile picture :P
