What in the world is a "copyright-infringing file"? Copyright infringement is about the act of doing something with the file, not the file itself. The MPAA has no way of knowing whether an individual copy of a file was ever involved in copyright infringement.

Which pirate site servers are we talking about? The handful of ones you are cherry picking because they back up your argument, or pirate site servers in general, the vast majority of which have nothing to do with ad revenue?

I'd bet that in the majority of cases, the reader doesn't really care one way or the other.

You're not one of those people that actually believe the RIAA propaganda, are you? Is that what you're really using as the basis for your arguments?

The bad economy doesn't have anything to do with entertainment revenues being down, oh, no. it can't! and changing tastes don't have much to do with it either, of course. I haven't bought much new music since the 1990s because I have all the classical I want, and pop music doesn't appeal to me much. And my kids don't have much money to spend on music or entertainment, so they listen to radio and replay their games a lot. but of course none of that relates to why entertainment industry profits are down.

Whether or not a copy was created, the end result is the same. Someone experienced the work without paying the artist. |

Can they advertise on MegaUpload? How about Dropbox or Rapidshare? How about Amazon's or Google's Cloud service? |

Especially because if case law hasn't changed, the owner of the computer is responsible for it hosting pirated goods, not the operator of the botnet. |
