It’s actually far worse than the pirate bay IMHO as they appear legit and pocket a part of transactions—ie profiting over screwing over otherwise moral agents who attempt an honest transaction.
The pirate bay is a directory that helps people get together that are often doing illegal things. The site does not actually know the contents of the files. It does not participate in the behavior. It's better than people that actually deal in credit card numbers.
The idea of trumped up charges is still pretty nonsensical.
The worst are the sites that sell the ads and don't even have the torrents, they look like torrent or direct download sites and only have shady links that lead to more ads and no content so they don't even incur in facilitating piracy.
I second that friend! I thought these p2p sites made money from adds so whats the deal? Pirate Bay is like a diseased ghetto in comparison to Demonoid.
