So how many are Gay?
How many downloaded Corbin Fisher porn from Oron?
How many have a decent job or parents and worth suing.
How many will realise their bank account details is the slam dunk and pay up?
So do the Math and what do you have 100,000 ready to step up and pay $5,000 rather than face the possibility of being dragged into court and having all their assets frozen.
Now how long will it take to trace them? Once automated and on a system that runs like a conveyor belt it's going to be easy.

This one is the best. An IP address doesn't prove nothing. A bank account does.
Now think onwards. Is the information CB will be handed to be kept confidential or can it be used by other companies? All of a sudden people trying to make a living or a few bucks off the work of others are cross filed and linked to other companies pirated content.
In the hands of a money making lawyer, this information is a gold mine. Don't forget this now goes way above an IP address and the John Doe filed suits. This is elevated to the level of affiliates earning money from piracy.
This isn't about stopping piracy 100%. Only a fool thinks a law, suing someone or a court stops anything. Murder is against the law, there are lots of people who will do their best to trace murderers and stick them in prison. Not 100%, yet doing nothing isn't going to work.
Copyright holders monetising piracy like this will make a lot of pirates wonder if it's worth the risk. Plus build a complete new level of making money. Hitting the income of file lockers, will shut down servers and leave affiliates unpaid and that's coming unless file lockers get real.
don't keep telling everyone that there are million of potential people to sue. It's got lawyers salivating. =)
