They can't directly sue the sites for monetary damages, so they incur legal fees, and sue for recompense instead. And since they can't go after the maintainers criminally, they'll wait until the court orders are flaunted in the first meaningless way and all file simultaneous motions for contempt. But yeah... we need to be looking at extending copyright claims indefinitely, for the benefit of the consumer.

How can they demand money from a website if the company and website(Server) is in another country? Don't they have to be sued in the country they are based in?

So they have to issue a DNS block to block these sites?
That will only end up blocking the sites for people using the ISP's DNS servers...
Granted, by default most people use them... but I can't help but think that the type of people that visit these sites will also know how to change their nameservers to google public DNS...
