I see all those “file sharing services” as the same kind of windbaggery. What makes Kim stand out are the stunts the U.S. prosecutors pulled on him. I would consider it more effective to remove the artificial barriers that make regular people even consider piracy as an option. That would put all the Kim Dotcoms squarely out of business.

It sounds like you believe the overwhelming use of file sharing is illegitimate? Dropbox and google drive ought to go out of business too?

Sorry for not being clear enough. I was talking about the MegaUpload kind of service. Instead of a long-winded definition, suffice it to say, “I know it when I see it”.

(Edit: supplement:) There is one thing I can say definitely: If the measures I proposed above would put the services you mentioned out of business, they obviously ought to be, eventually. To be perfectly clear, this is a hypothetical.
