How on earth do you figure that? Those companies have an almost endless supply of cash even in this economy. Even if you took $10 from every filesharer for legal proceedings, guaranteed it still would not touch the sheer amount of money the companies have. The original Transformers movie alone has amassed around 1 billion dollars worldwide. You cannot honestly tell me file sharers could ever come up with that kind of money.

The fact is, companies will keep suing and finding ways to minimize piracy as long as it affects their bottom line. If they stop even a few people, that's a lot of re-gained revenue. They know it. The battle will be neverending.
