Crime never goes away. Nonetheless the fight continues to keep it at a tolerable level. Without law enforcement society would collapse into chaos. 😠

I see the fight against piracy the same way as Prohibition or, better yet, the War on Drugs. I'll never be fully contained or eradicated, just slowed down a tad. Yes Prohibition was eventually repealed, but only because by 1933 many of its supporters could see it wasn't deterring alcohol consumption and instead exacerbated a more serious problem that's still with us today, organized crime.

I agree. However, I also believe the downward slide has already begun. I just hope society doesn't hit rock bottom too hard 😐

Agreed.

I could see this thread going down the drain again.

But anyway I expected as much with all the mirrors that would pop up.

TBP going down really wasn't a big loss to me though. Because I really don't pirate things other than sometimes from the abandonware sites.

Given how piracy threads tend to end up lately.
