Your side of the debate is losing.

Do you pay towards the content on the sites you buy traffic from?

How do you know none of those sites have pirated content on?

SOPA or a law like it will hit the piracy sites with a sledge hammer. The days of the File lockers and the forums linking to them will be gone. Well lets hope they are. The days of user uploads will largely be over. The big traffic sites will have to rely on content they own, have licensed or very sure the uploader is legit.

This is the same rules that apply to the rest of the world and no law has been passed saying the Internet is exempt of these laws.

So the effect on traffic on the piracy sites, those feeding off them and the surfers will be huge. The traffic will not all disappear. Most will go to places where there's legal content. iTunes, legal DVD stores, legal Tubes. Legal porn Tubes. Which is very likely to be the big guys, Manwin level will be fine. Now with so many people losing out on the cheap traffic, will they give up and do without or will they go to legal Tubes to get traffic. Then what will these sites charge, as they no longer compete with all the piracy porn sites for traffic buyers?

I suspect we will see a hike in the price of traffic. And a lot of traffic sellers unable to get their foot in the door. Maybe some site owners will turn their paysites into free tubes, might be more profitable. Should that happen I might think about it.

Damian the record industry isn't spending a lot of money trying to reduce the piracy of their music, because piracy is bringing them in more money.

The demise of File lockers will be a great opportunity for some bright young thing to show you how wrong this is.

By opening a legal site where bands can promote themselves. You need to think outside your box sometimes to see the opportunities coming. Do you have the money to do this?

I do.
