Very bad opinion piece in WSJ.com

WSJ.com (Internet Pirates) says that it's better to continue suing consumer / "pirates" rather than attack the p2p networks:

The better legal tools to stop file traders are hidden in plain sight, in pre-Internet U.S. copyright law. "Willful" infringement -- when the copier knows, or should know, that he's over the line -- carries a statutory penalty of $150,000 per illegal copy. The content industry can also continue to sue individual pirates. With penalties this high, it doesn't take very many suits to substantially increase the expected cost of pirating an album or film.

Umm... No. Consumers using p2p networks are not pirates or competitors. Unless they are mass producing albums and selling them on the street corner they should not be liable for willful infringement. Certainly not for file sharing.
