| Easier to nail end users
It's easier for the MPAA to go after the end user than to look from within their own organization. The little peon down loaders with few resources to fight the MPAA organization will most likely settle than fight in court. The "insiders" with access to these works are likely more powerful, and the MPAA would never want to piss these important executives off! It's easier for MPAA to get their government cronies to pass laws that put the burden on individual file sharers, most who are young people with little resources. Our government has no problems running roughshod over individual rights when it comes to protecting their high dollar friends. Have you heard about the new "catch all" law called "The Patriot Act"? |

|  It depends on what kind of insiders you are talking about. I'm sure the executives have better things to do than supply the scene members with reels/tapes/DVDs of movies that are still playing in theaters. Most likely these materials are stolen by some little guys such as stock room workers who are simply trying to make a quick buck by selling the stuff to someone in the scene. IMHO, these guys are pretty easy to nail; I believe they caught the one who leaked Episode II as well as the one who leaked "The Hulk", and both of them are doing some time now.
