If they can put a stop to the street level piracy maybe they will back-off a little on the file sharing once they see that they are not losing money from it.

Thank you for this. I thought I was going to be the only one with the unpopular opinion!
Their methods of cracking down (impersonating police) are incorrect. However, I can't STAND the bootleggers who set up shop on the street. To me, this is NOT the same as going after consumers who are downloading music of the internet. This is piracy, pure and simple, and I believe they SHOULD be prosecuted. They are making money off of someone else's work, and it's wrong.
