We forward them for two reasons -- neither of which have anything to
do with caring about the media companies or whatever it is they
assert:
- Many users are under the mistaken impression that bittorrent is
somehow anonymous. It's not, and if they want to use it they
should know that.
- Looking at abuse reports, regardless of merit is work. If a user
is doing something that is causing me work they should know about
it so that hopefully they can try to not do things that create
work for me.
Under no circumstances short of a (local) court order would I ever
give any information to the media companies.
