There was a time I used to celebrate torrent sites growing so huge, but now I just wish there was more of a Hydra. The sad fact is although TPB has shown its middle finger to IFPI/MPAA/RIAA dozens of times, its gaining a critical mass where the various organisations representing movies, music and software will spend enough in lobbying and creating pressure on governments around the world to take TPB down.

TPB has got a lot of political support in Sweden, but that state of affairs could change gradually. And frankly, countries can subpoena/compel large ISPs to firewall TPB and although there will always be workarounds a lot of the uploaded torrents will stop working. So hopefully bittorrent as a whole grows, but individual trackers remain limited in their scope of impact.
