“Historically, copyright holders have never actually targeted everyone who infringed copyright, only those infringers who could be detected and whom it was economically worthwhile to pursue.” * Before the internet the RIAA could only target large pirate operations which duplicated physical media. It would seem that the RIAA has found a way to make thousands of end users economically worthwhile. Has the internet contributed to such easy detection of infringing that even single households are targeted by the music industry?
