And how long is it going to take until they stop going after the websites and just get the ISPs to block them? The legal system works (as much as it does) because there is also a defense. The court now has a procedure in place that bypasses the defense.

And H33T is a profit making organisation. A corporation, really.
The works aren't theirs anymore. Corporations own them.
