The average porn surfer doesn't know what a tube site is yet, he never used newsgroups, he never used password trading forums or the IRC. He is a newb by all accounts. He doesn't even know shit about the computer he has been using for years. He doesn't even know (File) Explorer exists. He cannot do squat to his camera pics without the software that came with his camera including moving those pics to his computer.

So when you take that guy and you sue enough people in his spot he says, fuck those tube thingies and this is why I don't even have torrent software installed... You know those hackers? They created that software and it can really harm your computer!

So once Steve's lawsuits get traction and make it to the evening news a lot of paranoid fucks are going to uninstall that software and start paying again. It is just the way things work.
I disagree. Going after the end user is a HUGE mistake. We have to win them back not alienate them. Btw I think Steve has said over and over he's not going after the end user.
