I can't help but think there's tons of guys that rip off content and post it on forums because its a hobby -- that is, they do it for the hell of it.
Exactly. This is the problem. Most people involved are real dweeb collectors. They don't even WATCH what they have, the goal is just to get EVERY lossless Green Day album, or EVERY 1080P episode of star trek TNG, or whatever. They just want to own it, or be the person that has it all, they don't care about money. Shut down the commercial ones, and then everyone goes back to usenet, or IRC, or private FTP or places that public trackers can't even find.
