The way to go is bottleneck it and cut it at the source... the publishers that are stealing it and distributing it.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday saying that something like 26% of an ISPs traffic now was netflix and how p2p was like 3%. Their suggestion was that netflix had killed piracy because it offered a reasonably priced, easy, quick way to watch movie content.
Suing end users is bad. 1) It is quasi-blackmail 2) It does nothing to stop piracy 3) It makes the industry look like a cunt
