said by MyDogHsFleas:No, you're making the mistake of equating a technically possible solution with wide market penetration.
All that the owners are trying to do is to shut down and cripple the most popular, most visible, and easiest-to-use sites. This will stop 90% of the casual users from going the pirate route.
Just because it's technically possible to share pirated material doesn't mean that that techical solution has any significant usage or penetration.
All the owners really want to do is to raise the barrier of entry for the average user to become a pirate.
The piratebay was the easiest to use? All it had going for it was a search engine and torrent trackers, you still needed the right software to play movies, burn mp3 to CD, run programs (and hope a virus didn't lurk inside).
