Here's the real litmus test as far as I'm concerned: Is it any harder today to find pirated porn than it was before AK started? The answer is a resounding no it is not. There's MORE pirate sites now than there was a few years back. The problem, as a whole, is getting worse not better.

Sure you can argue that it might be worse without these efforts. From a surfer looking for porn's point of view though, the whole effort is a spectacular failure.
If you frame things far enough back, anything can seem insignificant.

From where I stand as a content creator, AK has shown progress, a step in the right direction. He's brought about pushback, an indicator of change, and success. Before there was no pushback, because there was no AK.

I'm not putting AK on a pedestal either, I'm talking basic observations based on his actions relating to piracy only, and the reaction from the opposing side based on the affect he's had on them.
