One thing absent from this thread is the notion that the music industry is not trying to stop people from listening to music. They are dealers just like those sharing files. The RIAA just wants to make sure they are the only dealers around. They don't want to stem the demand for music (imagine those commercials - "Parents who listen to Sabbath have kids who listen to Sabbath"), they want to keep the supply of music limited to what they provide.
So it makes sense to target only the suppliers so as not to scare/'piss off too much' their main customer base.
