The drugs would make more money if legalised through taxation. Currently there is no tax collected on illegal drugs. The additional revenue would come from saving the tax payer the billions being wasted on a war that has been lost. This is fairly basic obvious stuff. So no, legalising piracy would not increase porn revenues. I didn't suggest it would. The point, and I am sorry I am not making this clear enough, is that the government has spent BILLIONS on fighting drugs and they HAVE LOST. Similarly, the MPAA, RIAA etc have spent BILLIONS fighting piracy. And have lost. There comes a time when you have to realise you've lost.

Sorry, I shall try and use monosyllabic answers in the future.

Where did I say that? I said the PR generated through the fighting increased traffic to tpb because it did. More people because aware of it.
