So why in hell would he go legitimate?

Its like using DRM, people hate it and as long as there are people out there who don't use it it will never work out.
I think they have a monster they can't control on their hands. They love the traffic and don't want to do anything to give it up. If you gave me a million hit a day site that was loaded with stolen content on and told me to legitimize it. I would make a complete switch to legitimate. Even if 80% of the traffic disappeared you'd still have a huge site The reality is the traffic is all bookmarks and type in traffic. They'd never lose 80%. They wouldn't even lose 50%. It all would come down to how the switch was made. That's what i would do ;)
