It isn't so much about protecting copyright as it is profiteering from the legal system. The real money making tactic is where they offer to settle out of court for $3k with no evidence of wrong doing, and they then present a threat for more costly legal suits should you not pay up. Any average joe would pay the $3k and be done. So for nothing more than a "I think I have evidence, but I won't prove it to you" threat, they gain $3k. That's more than a normal person spends on entertainment in several years.

Ir's more profitable. Bills like this lead to more stricter and intrusive government-backed methods of bringing civil suits to Americans for monies. It's a business model that is effective so long as there is any bit of doubt.
