This will clearly have a huge effect on piracy. O wait. I meant the other thing. No effect.

If by no effect you mean increase piracy when someone who doesn't know newzbin2 googles it. It's like taking the red pill.

This should boost sales in the proxy and VPN business.

How much does it cost to register a new domain and how much have mpaa shelled out hunting the site, big victory for the lawyers and no one else.

The end result - Increased prices on movie's to cower the lawyer cost and that in turn will lead to increased piracy because few think its worth an arm and leg for 1.5 hr of hopefully good entertainment.

When will the movie publishers understand that mpaa's fight is flawless and only lead to double loss, piracy and lawyers.

When developers throw more DRM trash into games and break them even more, I think someone with a mind will choose wisely.
GFWL, UPlay... etc... Breaks the game a lot and the Multiplayer features freaking sucks...
