mmm. they do not have to go after 10-20% of the population. they just have to go after a small number and get a few people jailed for a few months to set the fear in the mind of the masses.
internationally, content creators give an option of paying a monetary fine instead of jail time to copyright violators. so they can actually start charging a particular fee per file from the violators. this is very feasible and worth the effort.
and then there is the other option. get the courts to instruct ISPs to blacklist repeat offenders. you would lose your internet connection and also barred from getting service from another service provider for a particular time period.
depends upon which route the content creators take, they can go after a small percentage or a large number of people.
