I was referring to your "I have no objection to people been dealt with fairly for copyright infringement" statement.

Like yourself I have no wish to see innocent people penalized. However if innocent people are caught in the net and make noises then "pirates" , and indeed others, will realize the shallowness of their "victimless" crime argument. This is a societal problem, not just an "industry" problem.

Either way one has to look at how and why this situation has been arrived at and the common denominator is the illegal distribution and consumption of copyrighted works.
