Considering some people will neither stop doing drugs nor sharing copyrighted files against the copyright holders' will, the authorities felt they could go against the folks who were least likely to shoot back.

Now, seriously, comparing the amount of misery illegal drugs cause with the amount illegal file sharing does is, at best, ludicrous. It's like all the more serious problems are solved and now they have to turn their attention to the copyright infringers.
