If all countries can agree about similar laws, and struck hard on all levels, they will be forced underground, and piracy will be limited. I think its just a matter of time when this happens.

please torrents are one legal precedent from being just as legal as a vcr. The vcr was illegal too before the betamax case overturned the lower court ruling.
Just because some people don't want to spend 100k defending themselves against a missapplied legal precedent doesn't mean they know what they are doing is illegal, it just quite simply that they don't want to incur the expense of fighting for their rights. They will let the pirate bay fight the fight, and then relaunch after it is 100% legal.
