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.
Because when the blocks are in place, it will effect their traffic. Why fuck around going around the blocks when another site won't have them.

Therefore when their traffic drops, this wil effect their ad revenues.

So it seems you're wrong unless TPB is a unique piracy site.

Hitting Megaupload, effected their ad sales. are you saying it hasn't?

Now all the authorities need to do is follow your marketing strategies of split testing the best methods and rinse and repeat.

Can you just explain why you're against people wasting time trying to stop piracy when it doesn't have any effect on you. You not being a pirate or involved in any way with piracy. Other than wasting time telling people not to waste time?
