If it's successful or not...that remains to be seen, but I don't see these producers as getting or trying to get rich from suing, rather spending that money to protect future profits.

Deterrence. When we filed on Lucas, we targeted a tracker who had ignored numerous take down notices.... sitting on Cyberbunker in Antarctica. When the webmaster got word, he not only pulled the two titles named in the suit.. he pulled ALL Lucas content.
The site operator stated it was an effort "to protect their community". Fellow gay torrent sites, in Russia, also followed suit.. pulling all Lucas torrents. While that may not happen with every suit, and I am sure it won't, it does instill a sense of 'rolling the dice' when you download.
