If you are suing 5000 people could they not pool up resources and get a good legal team? I think this might play against the studios in this case, it's large enough that it might start getting real media attention and maybe just maybe some senators would see this a vote grabbing opportunity.

If I read this correctly, the "business model" is largely based on nobody wanting to go public about downloading that kind of movies.
