Don't get me wrong the pirates need to go as well but the shear number of them is going to be prohibitive isn't it?

I think you have heard that old saying about giving someone a fish or teaching them to fish , this situation is a very twisted version of that example. By closing a hub you have accomplished nothing at all, why? because they just can open an other one on blogspot or any free domain or worse some domain in Iran or Pakistan ! and then they will load everything from the back up system. This is what happens with torrent sites! But the main issue is stopping th pirates from spreading or stalling them to the point that they lose their audience!
Plus I don't know if you read my other post but the main source of piracy is not the torrent or tube site but the very easy http file sharing systems around! which function independent of a hub! so as long as the pirate is free to function regardless of existence of hubs he can still sell or distribute your content for free and very easily.
