Therefore by having a law against burglary we actually create more burglars and feed the problem.
Anyone can see the solution here. Surely ?
Care to offer a counterpoint Damian ?

Sure. Analogies are, without a shadow of a doubt, meaningless.
Care to reply to my constant requests to a counterpoint to my point, which is, once again, that blocking access to the pirate bay increases their revenue due to the unparralled media coverage and does nothing to stop piracy. Discuss. Oh wait, you can't. Because I'm right. Again.
However, if you
want me to play the pointless analogy game, if the UK government came up with an anti burglary law that made one of the burglars substantially richer, whilst not demonstrably not reducing burglary at all, would you be in favour of it?
How about we give all rapists a bursary too?
Finish this sentence: "I think blocking access to one torrent site thus creating huge publicity, traffic and revenue for that torrent site is good because..."
(Bonus points will be added if you discuss the mirrored sites, the 023920932090 other torrent trackers, the simple DNS change workaround, and the fact that torrents were popular 5 years ago).
