Such as?
Removing the money is going to smash a lot of piracy.
For instance, removing the file lockers is easy. Stop them selling premium downloads on pirated content or make the processor liable and able to be sued by those copyright owners being hit by file lockers.
P2P as I understand it is supported by a huge network of sites linking the people who want to share.
http://www.sportp2p.com is just one. Make advertisers liable and able to be sued by those copyright owners being hit by file lockers.
Obviously a line has to be drawn between a sit that's being abused by users, such as Youtube getting a pirated movie put up and a site that's for piracy as it's prime intent.
It won't reduce it 100%. The laws never do stop crime 100%. should we not have any laws because they're not 100% effective?
I suspect many who profit from piracy will hate the idea of it being stopped, hate the idea of people wasting time to reduce their income. Offer stupid reasons to do nothing. If someone was stealing from them, it would make them think differently.
