After reading this, the first thing I must point out is the purpose of the suits is not to stop any infringement but to make money.
As a webmaster, website owner and administrator, I have been through enough training and seminars about this and one thing that leads me to believe that many of these cases are not going to come about is the reason that there is such a massive quantity of plagiarizing and even down right stealing out there that bringing cases to just any one who posts an article out there may not be possible. The one distinction I see is if the site is being run for profit and it is consistently using material from other sources.
The gains made by not pursuing these cases is clear, the RIAA and other organizations came to realize that unless there is a massive quantity of material being copied, it is better to let things go to a point and follow the market. The same goes for copyrighted articles and news, using things like Creative Commons seems to be one indication of this trend (except for ASCAP)
