I don't want to kick off another debate but I can't help but notice -

1. Waiting for the legal system is not going to work.
For starters getting an International set of laws passed with real teeth to protect content owners has proven impossible for the largest media companies in the World. They've had very limited success so confusing a few wins while the number of piracy outlets increases completely out of proportion vs. the ones that get shut down is obviously a net loss.

Pass more laws? I'm not optimistic. There are two ways to pass legislation like this:
1. Spend lots of money on politicians (and they'll still screw you / fail to delivery what you need)
2. Get a huge segment of public opinion behind your issue.
(Good luck on that one w/ this subject, thank the MPAA and RIAA for that one).

I watched something similar happen with internet pharmacies. The payment processors were targeted which had some success initially but they adapted and now there are more online pharmacies than ever and they are one of the leading sources of spam.
