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.
so you setup a private tracker,
torrent search engines like mininova can list those torrents and therefore keep making the advertising revenue they are currently making
you can easily convince them to remove the pirate bays versions because your full servicing the need of their clients (better since popularity is a virtue in bit torrent and splitting the swarm makes downloads slower = sueable direct economic loss)
the pirate bays actions would be illegal even under swedish laws, because there would be no fair use to hide behind.

you keep going back to examples of the free loaders, but a private tracker stops the freeloaders cold.

So again why are you not setting up a private tracker ?
