I am doing this small scale-
I have sites/blogs where i make pages about current news in tubes/torrents/piracy.
All of the news pertains to things like this, lawsuits, settlements and very importantly how dangerous illegal tubes and torrents are i.e. viruses, malware, spam etc.
I make it very clear to the people reading that all of this shit is going down and in the end downloading illegal content simply isn't worth it, without mentioning anything about "theft is wrong" or that kind of angle which does not work.
How many people do I reach? I would estimate 200 unique visitors a day see my tubes/torrents news pages. That is not much, but imagine if 100 webmasters did the same thing...
Suddenly you would have 20,000 unique visitors a day reading about the inherent dangers of tubes and torrents from both a legal and practical viewpoint.
Remember- a webmaster posted his poll findings here a while back asking 1000 people why they pay for porn and the NUMBER ONE RESPONSE was "Because i do not want viruses and maleware and i am sick of spam from illegal tubes and torrents so i would rather pay and not have the headaches" (thats a rough phrasing).
