I concur.
The more money they get in from court success, the more hungry they will be to take on more and more people who illegally downloaded their products and the more chance they will have of being successful now that the test cast has happened...
Playing hard with this, in my opinion, is seriously not using common sense. If it gets to court, it'd cost a damn sight more and could result in a criminal record.
As it goes, I also like the try before you buy principle, but no media giant anywhere is ever going to agree to such a scheme, because they know full well a hell of a lot of what they churn out is seriously crap and to make sure everything they produce met a high standard, they'd end up losing a fortune as they'd have to scrap so much of their planned releases, game, music or movie wise.
