HTH.

He was pretty instrumental in removing Paypal from just about every file locker that has piracy as its core business. That itself continues to be a big deal, as is his pressure on the credit card companies. If you want to join a file locker today you have to give your credit card to some shady company processing through a shady bank. This was the driving change of his project.
I think his success to date is about what is to be expected. Like I said, it is a long and slow process. It's also a fight no one else wants to take up. He certainly doesn't stop anyone else from doing it "better".
Sure, it would be nice to storm the beaches and have instant recognizable success, but that is just not reality. It is an organized criminal enterprise than spans different countries and does whatever it can to hide its tracks. Only by bringing light on it will anything change. That is all anyone can do now.
