Very very true, but nonetheless, companies with similar business models have to be calculating 'maybe they aren't, and if they aren't....' etc. The years they could be waiting for the judgement to come down on MU, continuing "business as usual" are years that can/will be used against them if MU is found guilty. Think back to the early 2257 busts. It's the same thing - a "get your shit together" message.

Like I said - I agree that this doesn't stop piracy, but it is still a message to sites that enable piracy. And that can make a difference. Jealousy? Yeah maybe we all are envious of the fast and easy money they made. Same as with drug lords and such....until you get to the jail part
