Looks like the MPAA picked on the wrong guy:

Last November, Shawn Hogan received an unsettling call: A lawyer representing Universal Pictures and the Motion Picture Association of America informed the 30-year-old software developer that they were suing him for downloading Meet the Fockers over BitTorrent. Hogan was baffled. Not only does he deny the accusation, he says he already owned the film on DVD. The attorney said they would settle for $2,500. Hogan declined.

Normally, they pick on college kids or other people in similar levels of financial distress. This time, they found a guy willing and able to fight. It will be a good thing to see the tactics they use brought to light in a court - and Hogan has the resources to make it happen.
