Personally I think they have a policy of going after the little guy as a way to raise awareness of how "piracy affects YOU" - I just happen to think it's a misguided one.

But then they would pick someone with whom they can get better publicity and better support. Like someone who does it on a larger scale and makes it more expensive for legitimate normal users. Not a kid and grandparent. They have to know people will be against them in this one. There must be a strong reason they picked on them.
I just think there is more to this than what the article tells us. Like I said, this is very one-sided story. [/QUOTE]Unfortunantly, anyone can be a target, mainly because from the beginning, all the trakers see is that a PC somewhere in the world has downloaded something illegal, and it isnt untill they really start to track down that person that they find out if they are a grandparent of or a little boy, and by that stage they have spent too much money/time to turn back.
