AdultKing cannot single handedly save the industry but for the people who seriously think he hasn't made a difference consider all the assets Kim DotCom had and how he made his money. He made it selling premium memberships to people who wanted to download faster and more than the limits. Just what do you think most of those people wanted to download so much of? Porn, of course! Money was still being spent on porn but much of it was going to these filelockers instead of your pockets.

It's making a difference. Nuke ALL the illegal filelockers and maybe you get rid of 40% of the piracy. AK hasn't been able to do that but I would bet he got rid of at least 10% of it. 60%-70% of the other industry piracy is the tubes. He's not touching that right now but you have to give him credit for what he has done. It's more than any of us have done, myself included.
