I've always maintained going after end users is pointless, it's going after the sites that service them that's effective.

"Figures published by the communications watchdog Ofcom last year revealed that more than 1.5 billion files were downloaded illegally in the UK in 2012, accounting for 22 percent of all online content consumed."

One thing you will never stop is file sharing. Its part of the internet and always will be until either the internet radically changes in some form in the future or the peoples attitudes change towards it.
