In general, I agree with you. But I doubt that will happen. They will only catch the small fishes and let the whales still make their money with tube sites.

I agree with you. This would only work if EVERY site in the world were a paysite, which is impossible. As long as countries still allow Internet users to access other countries then making something illegal in one country has virtually no effect in another. Look at 2257 and DMCA, those are American laws and how many out-of-US websites follow them?
PS: I usually only come up with solutions that would work if I were King Of The World. Still waiting for that Coronation.....:D
