OK - so the solution is prosecuting college kids, and not decreasing the incredibly steep salary structure?
You let me know when a college kid does enough damage to cause $5 million in damage to DVD sales (which is 33% of what a tier-2 actor would receive from a major motion picture).
It's nonsense, and it does nothing, I might add, to offset the "artists getting theirs" portion of your argument.
The reality is that the MPAA and RIAA are simply fighting against the quicksand - they'll only sink faster, b/c they are literally driving innovation to make downloading these things faster, safer, and more secure. The future wins, every time.
