Piracy rages on!

Many, including the RIAA and MPAA thought that shutting down megaupload.com would cause a significant dent in online piracy.  Well, many years ago, the industry tried to stop online music piracy by shutting down Napster, then Kazaa, then Audiogalaxy, then....well you get the picture.  It didnt work and apparently shutting down Megaupload hasnt worked either.  Check out this article from the Boy Genius Report.  The newest study indicates that piracy slowed down for a day or two (long enough for everyone to google which service to switch to).  It's back and back stronger.
