not going to deny that ,which takes me back to my earlier point of how illegal filesharing via TPB and other sites in the name of internet freedom has given the government the need or opportunity(depends on point of view)to censor the web.As has been mentioned already ,sites like TPB would be a fantastic platform for new artists of all genres but getting hijacked and used as a source for illegal music and films has ruined that .
Having said that it could be argued that the popularity of TPB is purely down to it's ability to supply said illegal files
