To put it shortly, I would say… NO!

1) In its core piracy is about users not providers (Did shutting down Napster end piracy? Plus we’re nowhere close to shutting PB down, here!)
2) We shouldn’t confuse law with morality. If anything, Lessig makes this point, “piracy” has taught users that morality and the law are two separate things (read http://www.digital-rights.net/?p=2407)
3) There are reasons for piracy beyond wanting a “free lunch”. The industry should examine the fairness of their own operations (prices, distribution system, etc.) if we are to reach a “moral consensus”…

But what is your thought about the ending of the pirate bay trail? Is it really the first big step(and a moral one) against piracy?
