The music companies don't pursue cases until they've built good ones. The porn industry is notorious for phishing your IP out of the noise, filing a case and intimidating a settlement. If you want to do some serious research on that Benny, I can PM you a great example of a company that does it a lot.
It's not a double standard, it's (for the porn industry) a money making scam. They're abusing laws written to stop places like Kick Ass Torrents to wring money out of people, many of whom never downloaded their crap.
