  on Dismissing The Freeloading Myth
  If I remember correctly, there's tons of posts on this very website showing examples of how the music industry is improving. Also, whining about file sharers doesn't help anyone. It's likely that the big labels have spent more money trying to combat piracy than they have actually suffered from piracy itself (if they suffered anything from it at all to begin with). Unfortunately, as wrong as it may be to illegally share/download things, there's nothing you can do to stop it.

  While the Pirate Bay does host torrent files, these files have no infringing content within them. They might make it possible for people to share infringing content, but there's no way an automated system can know whether a torrent is infringing or not. So basically, The Pirate Bay has no infringing content on its servers.

  The problem here is that you're pulling random percentages out of nowhere. Also, what people are searching for has nothing to do with what the engine has on its listings. If, suddenly, there were no torrent search engines, all the people searching for torrents would just use google - so would that make google any more illegal than it is now?
