You know, if they really want to make people stop downloading illegal content via torrent sites, whenever you arrest the owners, arrest a select number of users who have downloaded numerous illegal copies and charge them together as an ongoing criminal conspiracy under the RICO laws. Since torrent sites make considerable revenue indirectly based on the illegal distribution of copyrighted works and peer-to-peer sharing of torrents is a facilitation of that distribution, any user who uses a torrent is technically acting as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

I mean, look, I get it. Sometimes you download an unlicensed version because of a legit reason. For example, I have Pokémon Silver on my phone because I bought it but I lost my Gameboy and the cart's battery isn't working. Similar situation with Kirby Super Star. But there's a huge number of people who never buy music, movies, or games cause they always torrent them. That's not ok. And these torrent sites make MONEY distributing this stuff illegally. That's really, really not cool.
