There's still p2p, forums, private ftp, usenet, www, and much more. No money changes hands. All that will happen is the people that pay to download will learn they don't have to.
So cutting out the parasites making money off other peoples hard work, means nothing to you?

Yes piracy is a real problem and cutting out the pirasites, is a good first step. Follow it up with attacking forum via the advertising, would be a good next step. So spreading the news of where to get pirated content is dealt a blow, private ftp, that sees a nice way to get a virus and can someone advise me on that. Sticking it all on Usenet, keeps it to kids sharing it for free. Now then, can ISPs be persuaded to remove access to certain Usenet groups?

Looking at what Kim Dotcom was making and his hosting bill, give people just a small insight into the huge losses that piracy is inflicting on countries that produce the pirated content. Will they sit back and do nothing or step up the fight?

If this isn't the most scummy thing you have ever said, which for you is a new bench mark.
