Yet it was illegal and that stopped many from doing it.
Once that becomes legal (Basically once that is not a "bad thing"), we'll get refined versions of the pirate bay with good reputation, much more people would do it.

In Europe they forgot that original reason for copyright to exist. (OTOH I don't even know if that applied to Europe anyhow.) Latest reasoning on increasing it from 50 to 70 years was that some artists would earn less, if they don't do it. Which is quite far from "promoting creativity" I'd say.
