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.

What do you think about the very large torrent sites? For example Pirates Bay, what I was reading may have been old new but I am going to use it as an example anyways. They were staying operational against a court order and a $71k fine. I estimated a class action suit for 30k per violation at around $100 million just from a few searches I did. Don't you think that would be a more effective manner of getting them to close their doors and get other to reconsider before even getting started rather than some court order and a little fine?
File sharing, admittedly I don't know much about, are we talking how Napster used to be say back in the late 90's? I'm old and blond you have to explain. ;)
