I said that they make the majority of their money within a few years. Also the question is whether they would have produced Seinfeld anyway, if copyright only lasted 10 years. I think they would have.
But I do agree with the general idea - torrents site should stay in the legal area (but actually is not site owners who are responsible, it's the users. The site just provides a means to an end, just like a showel could be used in your garden or to smash somebody's head. It would be stupid to sue the hardware store that provided the showel).
Copyright ought to be shorter - several years would be enough, and I guess another rule would help: corporations should be banned from owning the so called "intelectual rights", or copyrights of any kind - those corporations tend to grow into monsters, and however much they would make, only very few of the creative talent behind the work would benefit.
