So the problem is at law enforcement not enforcing laws on the internet. There is no western country that has exceptions for the internet in its intelligent property laws.
Paul's idea to basically replace law enforcement by a citizen initiative won't work because the thieves will simply piss all over it and get away with it.

You misunderstood my idea. It's a way for the victims to sue those who profit and pay money to pirates.
So a company who find their content on a piracy site, can sue the advertisers, traffic brokers, processing companies. By doing this, the people who fund piracy have to be very careful. As most of them are based in the US it would be simple. Find Video Secrets, Live Jasmin, Brazzers, adverts on a site distributing pirated products or a site like Pirate Bay linking to a piracy site. The judges decide whether the site is "Dedicated to Piracy" and if so awards damages, costs of the plaintiff and cost of the court.
This would very quickly deter companies doing business with the pirate who have and will piss on the victims. Because they are often outside the jurisdiction of the US Justice System.
Of course I'm dreaming. Just like those giving their opinions here. None of us have any effect or input on the solution.
