How do you feel about people suing other people for stuff they haven't done yet?

According to this article , concert producers are suing bootleggers who have yet to actually bootleg anything!

To me, this smacks a bit of both Big Brother and Minority Report as well as the music industry getting totally out of hand.

I would like to hear your opinions on this matter. Do you think it’s right to be dragged into court for crimes that have not been and may never be committed?
