These raids (not this one in particular) can have a real impact. I'm an unabashed pirate, but it's gotten harder and harder to find a good, safe public tracker for BitTorrent. My dad can't even figure it out anymore after the private tracker I got him an invite for shutdown.

When kickass went down, people said it's like hydra. But I can't figure out where the new heads are. I'm down to piratebay and usenet only.

Sure I could spend time figuring it all out again, but that takes time and effort. So I end up buying stuff.

They'll never stop all piracy. They just want to make sure the masses don't know how to easily pirate. It's an 80/20 situation.
