Fat, lazy Gen Y nerds aspire to be like Kim Dotcom.

Everyone else wants to be this guy

Back OT; I have to say I agree that they have no talent and creativity, as adult content is the easiest shit to pirate - 1. Right click, save as.. 2. Upload. And that's all they have to do.

If everyone dropped downloads and only offered DRM-protected fragmented streams, the time cost for pirates would increase enormously and you'd see many of them disappear. Their 10 minute download/upload job would instead become hours of tedious (and CPU intensive) ripping and transcoding.

Some of these pirates are so lazy they don't even bother changing the original file names. These guys get DMCA'd a lot quicker, but this highlights the underlying issue - it's just too easy. There's so little work involved that posting file locker links that only survive for a day or less is still viable.
