You missed the point. File sharing sites don't create content, they exploit Hollywood's archaic and stubborn method of distributing content.

What you're saying is common knowledge.

What I'm trying to say is: Don't compete directly.

Apple didn't compete directly with the music/tv/movie industries but yet they too manage to have a huge leverage over them. And they managed that legally.

There will be a certain metric that matters in competition. We just need to know what that metric is.
