Torrents are the main source for illegal file transfers
Looking at how big the Warez market is growing, torrent sites are the unofficial leaders in this business. Sites like Rapidshare are used to download small files which cost less, but real piracy of movies, highly priced softwares and games happen via torrent and this cannot be stopped. Though some services like Mininova and Torrentz can be stopped, the people running the torrents cannot be touched, this is because unlike the Warez sites where individuals are uploading files, here all the downloaders are themselves sending the files, making it near impossible to stop all of them unless the torrent tracker is brought down. But how can all the trackers be brought down? If there is one falling in US, a more powerful one will be started in Hong Kong and if it falls in Hong Kong, there are other places where it can be opened, may be in an underground basement too.
