It's a no-brainer. This is NO DIFFERENT then if you sold fruit at a corner market, and people regularly came up, took it, and walked off without paying. Of course, people with no honesty or integrity don't care, do they?
If there's one thing the internet brings to the world, it's fast methods of transferring, sharing, concealing, and creating ways to do things. There must be thousands of file sharing sites, and it's impossible to stop it all, even with legislation. This is prohibition, and prohibition occurs when a socially accepted practice is completely eliminated. Experience shows that even if it was outlawed, there is no way to enforce the law.
