A lot of Warez sites are 'fly by night' operations on 'fly by night' servers. They move around constantly and they do a lot of remote hosting of the data files. Try this: search out and find perhaps 5 real warez sites with real downloads. Bookmark them, then come back to them in one month and see how many are still there or how many of the links you tested to see if they were real still work. These guys are getting shot down all the time, but they just come right back up somewhere else even faster than they go down. Of course technology is rapidly making them obsolete though not in a 'good way' as far as the industry is concerned. Witness technologies like Napster, Kazaa, and so on. They did manage to shoot down Napster, but it will be a lot harder to take out Kazaa and even harder to take out whatever eventually replaces it. This is a conflict that simply cannot be won. A lot like the 'war on drugs'; the more you hurt them, the tougher they get.
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
