Without a massive change to the laws governing these sites the problem will remain.

The change that's needed is to make advertisers liable for damages as well as the site owners. Or even sponsors with links.

The whole piracy thing is about making money. It's not what the people like Gideon want to believe it's about. It's about taking other peoples hard work for free and profiting from it. By selling ad space, selling traffic, buying ad space, buying traffic and even being a "partner", someone whose allowed to submit content with a link of watermark to sites with pirated content on.

Those who think the Internet should be free of regulations. Take a long hard look at what that means.
