They never really stopped that guy who sets up a table on the street or at flea markets and sells cam rips of movies, either. But doesn't mean that you allow that kind of business to grow. Things have gotten out of hand with these file lockers. Even beyond the copyright issues, they are paying people to commit other kinds of fraud where the "stealing" isn't debatable. They are criminal organizations from top to bottom. It is very difficult for one guy from Australia to do anything about but he's still the only one doing anything. I'm not really sure where the dysfunction of the movie and music industries are happening, where they are dropping the ball, but AdultKing has made significant strides to stop the file lockers from growing. Sure more smaller ones will keep popping up but they will all be making less and less money.

I use file lockers extensively for television programs and there's more options every day, not less. I realize it's not exactly the same thing, but I can't imagine there's file locker downloads out there suddenly furious because they can't download their pirated porn.
Really this should have been titled "Punishing Individual Pirates", which hey fine that's great to do I'm all behind it.
