I know one business model that is making money off of Paris and many others. Newsgroup providers like www.giganews.com . One night in Paris was posted last night in the newsgroups as a dvd rip. I'm not sure why the feds havent stepped up and closed the news servers. I would guess at least 95% of what is posted in the binaries directories is infringement.

There have been cases where the government has gone after news servers for illegals like CP. I remember reading how one provider basically opened up their books and logs for the investigation and as a result were not charged.
I am not sure if carrying newsgroup binaries is even illegal, no matter the content (Although questionable).
