Several file-sharing sites have been forced offline or forced to seriously limit their offerings in recent months thanks to the efforts of the MPAA, RIAA, and the like. But any hopes the industry has of killing the practice off appear to be nil.
At least if the popularity of the final episodes of Lost on these sites is anything to go by.
Internet Piracy
Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ll know that file-sharing is hugely popular on the Internet, and has been for many years now.
The various entertainment industries don’t want people to share content this way, naturally, as it cuts into their profits and loosens the control they have over content creators.
If anything, there has been an increased effort to take these sites offline of late. The most obvious and high-profile example is The Pirate Bay. But the sites have pushed back, refusing to bow to legal pressure. And people generally don’t see anything wrong with piracy.
