False dichotomy. We can obviously have both. We can destroy corporations that rely on copyright to exist and then abuse that system to profit. We can also ignore college students and minor contributory copyright infringement.

The difference in scope here should be obvious.

We can similarly punish drug dealers while not punishing drug users. In fact it's already policy in large parts of the USA.
