I'm afraid that by shutting them down your only going to cause more of a need for them. For some reason, the individuals want for more is unquenchable, the more you take it away from them the more likely they are going to find ways to get it; i.e. illegal drugs. We've have created a monster that is internet, unless you plan on shutting down the World Wide Web, you will never be able to stop piracy. Thank you for your time.

I guess that one post has managed to drag in all the torrent apologists. Too bad that all that time you spend downloading stuff wasn't spent on basic comprehension.
Nobody, repeat NOBODY is aiming to take down all the torrent sites. That isn't the point and that isn't the issue. If you want to trade files with your friends, knock yourself out. All that anyone is looking for is that copyrighted material is taken down, that things like full site rips, full DVD rips, and full length videos are not made available, and when they come up, they need to be removed immediately.
You can trade all the files you want - as long as you have the rights to them.
The average 4 or 5 scene porn movie costs in the tens of thousands of dollars to produce. Paying the actors, renting the location, equipment, post production, getting legal rights for music and such... it all costs money to do. Porn isn't a "get a video camera and a $50 hooker" business, sorry.
The more you guys steal, the less chance that new porn will get made, and you will be all crying because there is no fresh pr0n to spank your monkey to while your mom is at the shopping center.
The internet isn't an excuse to steal from everyone anymore than a powerfailure should be a reason to loot stores. A few idiots entice everyone else to break the law.
