This thread is full of valid arguments that disagree with your position. You just ignore them.

I've not seen one valid argument explaining why giving the pirate bay more revenue is a good idea. Please can you quote one of them, seeing as there are so many?

Rather than try and give a reasoned answer to the points raised you declare it (and all other analogies) to be pointless.

Analogies are flawed when they compare apples with oranges. Please explain why that is wrong.
And yes, discussing using analogies is a really good way to deflect from your inability to make a simple counterpoint to my very simple argument. ;)

I'm the winner because I'm right. It doesn't work, and increases the criminals revenues.

Sorry, everyone seemed to be confused as to how to discuss something.
My point is that it is counterproductive to block access to one torrent tracking site in 2012. It increases their revenue and does nothing to stop people using torrents. Please link me to someone explaining why it is good as you are unable to.

My position on piracy is, and always has been, perfectly clear. It is illegal and wrong.
However, I am also against stupidity. And the UK blocking access to one torrent tracker is stupid.
