Where are the companies that have a lot to lose with large amounts of people being removed form the internet.
Google makes much of it's money through advertising, if the population of the internet starts to shrink due to people being kicked off what happens to them.
ISPs make money by subscriptions to internet service. If one gets kicked off the internet that is another person not paying for internet.
Blizzard has 11 million people paying 15$ a month for a game. If all of those who are accused of file sharing get kicked off, I wonder how many of those users would cancel their accounts because they can't connect any more.
Amazon and iTunes make money by selling digital goods. If those who pirate also pay the most for goods, then what will happen to those revenue streams.
In all I just don't understand how companies like these would sit by and watch the entertainment industry do what ever it can to destroy the internet.
