I think in many ways this war is already being won. In Sweden, the IPRED laws and similar have made a major shift in how people are getting their music and such, and I could see other countries following down the same lines.
all IPRED in sweden did was create a market for anonymous VPN services. you thought selling ads on a tracker raked in the bucks? think about how much money could be made for selling subscription services for $15 a month.
that's a strange definition of victory: not stopping piracy, AND making your enemies richer by creating a market for new services.
the pirate bay is still up and still serving up torrents AND has paying subscribers to its IPREDator beta. great job guys! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
