That agrees with the point I was going to make. Site x is found to be guilty of offering material that infringes on copyright and access to it is blocked, but what is stopping them from just opening up shop again somewhere else on the web? It's not like someone can police the whole internet after all. Seems more like a feel good ruling rather than something that will make any real effect on things.
