I think that people who downloaded our themes on file sharing sites weren’t going to buy it anyway. So I stopped caring 
Whenever they want support they’ll still need to purchase the theme.

These are very sad days for online freedom and the internet as we knew it. I’m sure this kind of government influence is what Tim Berners-Lee must have hoped to prevent when designing the internet as a decentralised system.
Years (or months?) from now, we’ll look back at this moment as the time when it ‘all began’. Or is that too Orwellian?
From a pragmatic point of view; I’m glad most of these websites are shutting their doors solely to American users. In the end it’s them who have the power to stop this madness and call the US Justice dept. to a halt.

I’ve had to waste countless hours sending DMCA takedown notices to the various filesharing sites, to stem the flow of piracy for my company’s products, this last 3 years. I’m glad to see many of them look to be shutting down.
Who else, other than people who want to pay to download copyrighted materials, really used these sites? 99%+ were likely illegitimate pirates and/or people downloading copyrighted materials.
I hope they all get shut down forever. Life on the internet was FINE before 2006, when all those sites started popping up.
