ISTR reading that some remote tribesmen used to regard taking their photographs as theft of their souls - still doesn't alter the fact that nothing was physically taken and so the law does differentiate between theft and copyright infringement. It even only regards taking and driving away a car to be theft if the intent was to permanently deprive the owner of the vehicle - TDA <> theft in the eyes of the law.
Anyway - back closer to topic - blocking TPB will not make one iota of difference to the amount of copyright infringement but will increase the amount of BS being posted on forums on the subject enormously.
