if you truly believed that 99% of the people were illegally getting access to your content and not recovering access to content they paid for, then setup up a private tracker. You would make a lot more money from the additional signups, then you would lose from the resulting cancelations.
However i believe you are fully aware that you are making more money from charging monopoly prices for fair use distribution even with the lost sales to piracy. And you are actually just pulling the 99% out of your ass to try and justify taking out the only alternative for fair use distribution so you can force everyone to pay you monopoly prices.

LOL, this is your cockamamie theory? I actually engaged you to try and understand exactly what you are always going on about and now that you have explained it in more detail, I realize that you are indeed a certifiable nutball. Of course a site owner is trying to stop people from getting access to the content who never paid for it in the first place and that is their primary concern. After all how many former members could there be who somehow neglected to download the content while they had a site membership compared to the potentially millions of people who never paid for it who can just download it for free?
Ponder this example- one could spend $50k on a site with exclusive content, launch it tomorrow, have a only a dozen or so paying members by the next day and find the material being served up for free to thousands of freeloaders in the same time frame. Sorry Gideon, I tried to reason with you but not one thing you say makes sense and I am starting to feel pretty foolish for even trying to even give you the simple respect of a sober discussion.
