I know some don't like this, but it's a fact of life, and a fact of the market. If it's not PirateBay, it will be someone else. Kind of like the drug war.

Only to an extremely limited extent. The drug war continues ONLY because opulently wealthy western societies provide addicts with guaranteed medical care. Without that, periods of heavy societal drug use are peremptorily ended by mas death due to outright overdose and weakened immune systems - such as seen in the US several times in the 19th century.
