There are things being done about warez sites, etc. However, there are many obstacles and hurdles in the way. One problem lies in the fact that the Internet is an International commodity and it transgresses any laws governing its usage. What is legal in country X, may be illegal in country Y. There is currently are no clear-cut International laws that would be able to sufficiently stop warez from happening. ("Currently" because I believe that one day, maybe when humankind reaches adulthood, we may eventually learn that by getting along and cooperating vs competing with each other at every turn, everyone stands to benefit from it.) Likewise, the technology used by warez sites also has legitimate uses. Therefore, you cannot single out one particular technology nor can you protect and secure every technology in use. The Internet is also very dynamic as well as extremely transient. With the ease of placing warez on the Internet, copying them around the globe in short spans of time, and/or changing their location at any given time, it is difficult to effectively deal with the warez. Of course, there are many, many other points to ponder, but these are a few I can think of off the top of my head. Although some things are being done by the respective authorities, a lot more needs to be done in order to curtail all illegal activity on the Internet.
