direct download for the win

Directly downloading from file hosting websites, which so far hasn't been an entertainment industry target.

the newest method I have found that works quite well is looking at html source for video sharing sites and downloading the avi file in the source.

Actually, I've seen some reports of them going after Rapidshare.
I believe that was behind the reason Rapidshare was/is trying to work out a deal with the movie studios to legally provide some movies.

Here is what rapidshare saying

During the last couple of days some e-mails created confusion, imputing illegal activities to the recipients and stating that RapidShare was collecting data against the Privacy Policy for legal purposes. The e-mails also advised the users to seek legal council. These emails are faked and did not originate from us. If you have received such a message, please contact our support, because your Premium Account might have been "phished". The fake e-mails are sent to keep you from contacting us.

In fact, nothing has changed at RapidShare over the last days. We are still not collecting any information about which user downloads which files. We are still successfully fighting in court against requests to open or scan our customers' files, be it by our staff or by use of content recognition technologies. We are still defending data privacy rights on the internet.

Of course, you still have to comply with our terms and conditions. If content owners bring to our attention that some of our customers have obviously distributed pirated copies of their content repeatedly or at a large scale, we reserve the right to close these accounts without previous notice.

they are already implemented changed to bypass such

by encrypting the files and file names + encrypting each part with strong encryption code also changing the file name

i.e.

day after tomorrow is changed to

big ice storm (2007).txt
or

big freeze storm (2007)part1.jpeg

you get the idea
