I've said this before: One of the ways to go after torrent sites is to stop their supply of new users, the ones that are coming from SEs. Just imagine if the first 50 SERPS for torrent related terms were filled with links to fake torrent sites (maybe even filled with tons of popups or 'corrupt' 600 meg files of garbage)....
This is precisely what happened on the 'old' P2P platforms (limewire, etc) - when you searched for porn all you got was sponsor content, corrupt files, etc, etc.. so it became an inefficient way to get free porn.
