Michael,
If what you say is 100% correct, then why not just catch every single file sharer we CAN catch, and take all their money and possessions to help compensate? Sure.. many will figure out higher tech ways to steal.. but as the bar rises.. average theft will decrease.. then the serious law enforcement agencies can focus on the top of the heap hi tech violators through sanctions against countries and ISP's, and the RIAA can just keep collecting fines/punishment money until the average file sharing thief finally gives up. And even if 100% of them get to the point where they can't be caught, we can recover a LOT of stolen money until that happens and give it to writers and artists and the rightful owners of copyrights while we can? Let's punish those who voluntarily steal..instead of those who create everything.. sounds simple to me.
