The only way that pirating will eventually be stopped is if the ISP's stop it. Until they get their act together and start kicking off the downloaders, it will never stop. But my ISP is constantly trying to sell me faster d/l speeds, so why would they want to kill the golden goose? People won't pay for bandwidth when all they can do is surf the web and read emails.

What the RIAA and MPAA did was very costly and gave them bad publicity. This route is less costly and we don't care about the bad press. We had it before this started. LOL
One person, company or organisation won't be enough to curb the. But and it's a big BUT, if what Steve and others are doing proves to not cost or be profitable expect many others to go the same route.
Then downloaders will be looking over their shoulders. I think it will curb a lot of it.

A subpoena is just a court order to hand over information. These downloaders are law breakers. You seem to want to keep the information secret. Why is that?
