My upload speed has increased over 5 times what it was in 2001. So you get people trading directly over instant messengers etc. Then how do you stop that? Someone will make a program that works off the instant messengers and connects people via a search utility or something and torrents will no longer matter.

People will ALWAYS find a way. The only way to slow it down is by the adult industry developing a secure content delivery system. Mainstream does it. Why cant we? How bout Silverlight? Sure sure anything on anyones screen can be stolen. There has to be an industry wide change to stop it. Its like talking to the wind I think though. If Microsoft, the Riaa, and the mpaa cant stop torrent sites can we?
