It depends on what you think pirating really is. For example video games, is it piracy if I borrow someone’s pc disk install a game on my computer and play it? BitTorrent actually works a similar way. A lot of people I know that use these “pirating” sites usually end up buying said game. I have never seen a pirated video game on sale in the United States. I have seen pirated video games SOLD in other countries. Sharing and Piracy are two way different things. The problem is even if we took down torrent search engines there would still be piracy. It has been shown to the public that these protection software measures do not work.

In other countries people crack a game and distribute it like it was an official copy and sell it to make money. I define that as piracy.

If you want to abolish sharing using, bring shareware back, and distribute that using the same torrent sites many want to abolish. If you want to abolish actual damaging piracy taking down torrent sites would do nothing.
