Re:BitTorrent study finds most file-sharers are monitored by ljf on Tuesday September 04, 2012 @09:30AM (#4474440)
Don't forget all (well nearly all) Bit Torrent downloaders are also (by default) uploaders - seeding back to the pool while their file downloads.

MAFIAA and others don't care about downloaders (as yet I don't believe a single user who downloads only, has been sued successfully), but they DO care about those sharing their material. The fines levied so far are not for downloading tracks, but for sharing them.
