You just CANNOT kill the world-wide-web! It's WORLDWIDE haha! Yea, maybe you'll stop the torrents. Fine. Torrents weren't the beginning, and they are not the end. Stuff like DC++ was working great until they started banning hubs. Okay. Limewire was one of the best, shit was thrown into it, and it collapsed. And so many more examples. Torrents, well they were at their peak in 2005 I'd say, at least that's what my personal experience tells. then they started declining. But, you close one website, another one flourishes, stronger than the one before. you just cannot stop it. :) To users: don't stop from downloading. What can they do? Umm send the special forces over...and take all the millions to prison? Really, is it just millions? Piracy will never be stopped. You just CANNOT kill the world-wide-web! It’s WORLDWIDE haha!

Torrents will still be around, they just need to work on the next loop hole. I agree with AL, p2p isn't where the elite traffic is anyways. And there's tons of 0 day sites now, more than there were before all of this legal bullshit came about. Damn that blocking Canada, they just pissed off a bunch of people who have nothing better than to sit on their computers in the winter. I don't think that was a smart move on their part.
