Piracy sites VS. DNMs

Piracy sites directly hurt corporations. DNMs support and supply users and vendors. Fraud shit seems so minimal they would be more concerned about the piracy on torrent sites.

Yet somehow, they continue to take down darknet sites and can't take down clearnet torrent sites (I realize they have but we all know the big ones and the game is just switching servers instead)

LE probably makes a good deal running cybercrime units so they can look at gay porn and compare moustaches. They are under pressure to stop the opiod crisis that the medical industry created by putting users in jail and making sure they never recover.

Why can't they take PirateBay down and yet can fuck with decrypting sites on the darknet? Reading the alarming amount of work they had to put into catching PureFireMeds, one single user, I'm guessing this is a lot of internal fuck ups and slow infiltration by LE (give us your account or we'll bust you for sales).

Fraud and drugs are a big deal in the U.S. but most of all they hate all that illegal money they can't tax. Combine that with a virtual currency that's not gov backed = what you're seeing

It's very easy to explain the things government and law enforcement do. Pretend you are an alien watching the action after just arriving from Uranus. You don't understand human vocalizations so you ignore everything govLEO says. You observe that govLEO is a group of humans distinguished from most others by highly organized predatory behavior. Whereas most other humans comprise a heterogenous uncoordinated population that only interact with each other on a voluntary basis, govLEO tends to organize itself in a top-down hierarchical structure comprising homogenous subgroups. The lowest subgroups in the structure are the only humans that interact with other humans. These lowest subgroups always wear matching outfits, carry weapons everywhere they go, and obtain the necessities of life by taking it from humans who do not wear matching outfits and do not carry weapons. Those who resist the armed humans are either harmed, killed or forced to wear matching outfits while living in cages.

A keen Uranus observer realizes that the armed humans that dress alike are incentivized to interact with the non-armed humans that have the most stuff to take by force. Their booty is passed up the hierarchy with each level taking a cut, so it's important that the initial plunder be as large as possible.

The unarmed groups of humans with the most stuff to plunder are drug dealers and people that live on top of oil, not operators of file sharing sites. The End.

PS Kim Dotcom is a target of the armed humans in matching outfits because, although a mere operator of file sharing site, he has a lot of stuff to plunder. Not as much as Chapo or Ross Ulbricht, so he doesn't live in a cage yet. But more than a child molestor, so he is stuck on an island which is a sort of large cage.

PPS the other group of armed humans in matching outfits that plunder by force in order to feed the hierarchy above it preys upon brown people that live in deserts on top of oil.

This sounds like elementary school level, recess playground dry snitching on torrent sites.

You awoke at 530 am to someone yelling through a bullhorn and the pounding on your door. Still groggy and bleary-eyes, you rush downstairs to open it but as you reach for the handle the door comes flying off the hinges and smashes in to your fat, crying face. They next thing you know, your on your stomach with a boot on your next being handcuffed. After a second or two the pain shoots through you liek lightening when you realize you have just lost several front teeth.

“B-B-But what about all those people sharing Blu-rays and site rips on the Pirate Bay?!! Its not fair!”

Is that what your going to say? No of course not. It is silly to even compare the two. There is no war on piracy. Piracy isn’t big business. Piracy doesn’t play a huge part in filling all those prisons. They won’t try to seize your house and car or put your kids in foster homes because you torrented The Bachelor.

According to the government, drugs are a fucking pandemic that must be eradicated. Piracy is more ike an annoyance, like ants at a picnic.

There's no money in free piracy sites
