But once it becomes too risky or the money runs out, they will simply move on to other things. Piracy at the end of the day is not an industry and nobody will fight for it. People involved in piracy are opportunists, and opportunists don't stick around to fight for anything. That's not an attack on pirates or tube sites, it's just the nature of opportunistic style businesses.

The media companies are actually fighting and that's why they will eventually win. They're only real opposition is the technology, and eventually you can pass laws to control the technology. I'm not saying it's right or the best for the consumer, but that's the way it will eventually play out.
