Of course I'm not suggesting that publishers shouldn't be entitled to make decisions about how they run their business - that would be silly - rather I feel by focussing on anti-piracy measures, instead of encouraging potential customers, by alienating them they're headed in the wrong direction.
I think that most people here seem to object to publishers taking ANY anti-piracy measures. At least, when the publishers try to crack down on piracy, we are told that this is ALL they are doing, when this is not the case.

Good luck cracking down on a hub that is within a country without any anti piracy laws. The most notable torrent sites aren't run in the US you know.
You'd be surprised how long the arm of the US government can be, if it gets serious about piracy. And torrents can be blocked, if the ISPs are leaned on. Again, its a matter of priorities.
