IMHO this time it´s different.
If you found a TGP stealing your stuff, there was someone you could hold accountable.You could contact the site owner, the hosting provider,etc. Plus, you could just change your site´s backend,deactivate stolen passwords,etc.
With P2P you can´t do that. You cannot sue everyone that shares a file (as the RIAA and MPAA have found out). You find complete site rips that can be downloaded in a matter of hours or days, depending on how much bandwidth you have. And most importantly, you often cannot hold the sites that are hosting the trackers accountable.
You can try to flood P2P networks with your branded files,etc. but that doesn´t solve the fact that surfers won´t join your site if they can find your whole site in a single torrent.
The fact that these sites are being financed by certain sponsors doesn´t help either.
