At this point people need to wise up and start hurting corporations where it counts. When we were kids, we used to copy media tangibly. We copied CDs to tapes and TV to VHS cassettes -- it's time people took pirating offline again. Start buying all your CDs and DVDs used. Exchange your disks with friends and rip them manually, and then exchange your files with friends by exchanging USB keys. Don't go to the theater, go to a local live band, bowling, etc. Do everything you can to make sure these corporations see less and less of your dollar and the smaller local artists see more of it. We may be the minority, but we're the guys that they are targeting. Basically the corporations are now targeting their own consumers, so apparently they don't need the money as much as they want to set an example and scare their heard. And if you can, drop your big business ISP and use a smaller local one. Also set up local networks and VPNs, proxies, etc. The net is full of ways to keep you private with a little research.
I don't even pirate. I just hate seeing big business using the legal system to hurt their consumers, the people that keep them alive. This is as corrupt as it gets, people.

The fact that this is what they're resorting to should really make it clear how dead the anti-piracy movement is.
Agreed. I just fear for the few people they are set to make an example of.
