How do you figure you will stop piracy though?
American law applies in America. Not the rest of the world. Not yet, anyway.

I'm really referring to the international treaty that is being worked on as we speak amongst several nations.
And on a couple of your other comments...you are absolutely right. The movie industry is making record money. And there are a few great reasons for that...
I went to see Iron Man 2 the other day. I wanted to see it on the big screen in all it's glory with the big theater sound system. I paid for that experience.
The tickets were $8 each for a MATINEE show!
I was reading where Hollywood is putting out more and more movies in IMAX 3D because they can charge more for it.
In a bad economy the movie theaters, bowling alleys, bars, etc. have great business as people want to get out of the house and forget their troubles.
None of those factors help online porn in any way.
The music industry:
You said it had an increase in online sales. That's nice.
NOTHING compared to the money the music industry made before piracy.
That's like saying that you made $1000 this week so it's an increase from the $900 you made last week. But you're leaving out that before piracy you made $5,000 a week.
