Actually, it occurs to me that ISP's and web hosts will usually cancel the account of a person who offers illegal materials online. Apart from banning here and pulling the links, if they don't quit, it's usually possible to contact their web host- and having an established account cancelled and deleted is usually a fairly significant blow to the willful copyright infringer... not that its a permanent measure at all, unfortunately; just a temporary setback. Just a thought, since links to stolen stuff are usually posted on multiple websites. And, ryamka, please, don't go dragging the DMCA into this... that whole act leaves a rather nasty taste in my mouth, since it smacks of censorship (Red Hat (a Linux distributor) actually refused to release product documentation to US citizens recently, due to the DMCA.)
