The main thing that File sharers (most) had over Bittorent was their "file sharing" technique, they were able to split the files up so that each file you were getting was comming (generally) from multiple users, this prevented the current laws from pinning the piraters down becasue they were not exactly sharing that file, unfortunantly with Bittorrent, it is still possible for them to arrest and fine certain users.
Sure they probably will never shut Bittorent down, but they can still make an impact by fineing kids hundres of thousands of dollars, even millions in some cases (I think I saw something like that happenening, wasn't there that article in our english classrom lennon?)
