It does work. The majority of people don't commit crimes.

I've cut the rest of your pointless waffle.

Which argument? Take a point I make and create a counterpoint.

Let's see if you can. (I shan't be holding my breath though).

My point is that blocking the pirate bay in the UK is pointless because there are millions of other trackers, you can download a workaround, you can use a VPN, or you can go to the much more efficient ways of pirating content if you want to. Usenet tracker newzbin2 was blocked 18 months ago. No other usenet sites have. It has made no difference.

Now, you have to say "I think blocking the pirate bay is a good idea and will stop piracy because..."

That's how discussions work. Not snide name calling. Intelligent debate.

I am turning away more work than I am accepting at the moment. And if someone came to me wanting me to do marketing for them and thought that blocking the UK's access to one torrent site was A Good Idea, they would be too stupid for me to want to work with. Thanks for your concern though.
