And the new emerging "players" in the field can be systematically taken down as soon as they appear
Laws DO work. A good example is the child abuse film "industry" that is all but gone from the net. Sure you can find it if you really want but its not easy to get and it is definitely something that one can control.

Blame google and other indexing search engines for the fast growth of piracy, The very people smut peddlars use to make money from. You take one down another pops ups or the technology for file sharing changes.. and to compare it to child abuse films is way off. Most prob 99% of people know that its wrong to abuse children, its a totaly different story to piracy, You talk to most youngsters and they have no problem sharing files, Society does not tell them that it is wrong to file share like it is to abuse children, Its going to take a very long time, if ever for society to do the same thing about file sharing.
