At this point, there is only a very few countries left where these guys can hide before they get shut down. When the Swedish government wakes up and smells the coffee, torrent sites will become like MP3 traders - there is still a bunch of it out there, but the general public is much more likely now to BUY music than there are to steal it.

Dont compare Napster to Bittorent... Napster was run on centralized servers that everyone who used napster connected to. Bittorent is not centralized and can be run from any machine.
The thing that replaced NApster is Limewire which runs on the Nutella network (not centralized).
The best Bittorent sites are all private trackers which have more seeders than leechers which is the problem with public sites like Pirate Bay. filelist and demonoid are 2 examples of private trackers that are 10x better than PB.
