There is only one way, we reduce their profit margins. Harder to do with Torrents the Tubes.

None of these sites would be a problem if there was no money in running them.

So we take away the small percentage of buyers and leave them with the free loaders. The problem is do we have the will to upgrade?

I put something very simple like a live show and it improved ratios. If every site did it it would be death to the pirates. We, as an industry, appeal to our audience a lot more.

As I said do we have the will or will we carry on down this road?
