And yet it's 2013 when companies have taken most of the excuses away from pirates leaving you with why people truly pirate... they're just cheap.
Prison industry is big bucks. Plenty of people incarcerated for petty stuff like mar1juana, and soon to be copyright infringement
Or you can stream movies without even downloading. Also who has trouble getting rid of viruses and trojans these days?
Who really cares anymore? For torrents everyone will still use Pirate Bay, KAT, Torrent portal, TorrentFreak, BitSnoop, TorrentReactor, EZTV, TorrentPortal, Limetorrents etc. And that's in addition to the sh-t ton of direct download sites like beemp3, mp3raid, rapidshare, zippyshare, rapidgator, 4shared, netload, rlsbb.ru, etc. For every one of these old dinosaur sites they shut down, 18 more have come up in their place while they were in court. The best thing these guys can do is continue to make their streaming services easier and more accessible so people are encouraged to go that route instead. Shutting down these sites one by one is a waste of time and resources.
Awesome Vaguebooking, rook. I've been there done that, ballin' so hard with my torrent uploads. I was a pirate ripper on OiNK when we only had around 2000 members and I had 1000 albums uploaded. Don't even come at me, too much swag for you, chitlin.
