I don't have any problem with publishers doing what they can to product their products by closing down pirate sites. I think that's a much better option than trying to go after downloaders when it's so easy to falsify IP addresses.
I think it's even possible to falsify IP addresses for seeding torrents (I had a coworker who used to hack into neighbors' unsecured wifi all the time).
So take down the sites by the folks who benefit monetarily from the pirating....it just seems less likely to be abusive to some innocent bystander.
