This case is not about them mass suing, it's about the misconduct of the action, related to them going after innocent people, without 'any' proof or the evidence they did have, was bogus - so they couldn't back it up.
when you group everyone together, grabbing ip address and then sending letters to all those people demanding money

you can't help but catch innocent people in that dragnet.

the misconduct is a consequence of mass suing.

if they handled each case one at a time, collected the evidence FIRST and then went forward you don't extort money from innocent people.

it was the order that was the problem

1. get ip address
2. ****
3. send out letter demanding payment
4. sue people who didn't pay

it the skipping over the getting proof that they actually commited the crime (#2) was the problem.
