Content will get around the internet by any means necissary, why go after the problem that's hardest to control? By that I mean websites that share games. They share a game with a serial and let people be on their way. The software developers quickly catch on to a key being shared by a product, effectively making the product limited or useless. (remember the guy who quit MS and told everyone a Windows XP serial right as XP was shipping? They quickly acted and blocked that key from getting activation, stopping a lot of illegal copies). But what about serial and keygen websites? Each software disc has every serial on it -- it'd cost too much money to make each disc unique to a single serial -- but once they figure out how to get the keys, they're put in a keygen and spread around the internet. A 1mb file containing every key, and making it impossible to not get a useable key, is much more dangerous than a website sharing the same serial over and over.

Pfftt, sue Google. Damn chickens. Their indexing streatches far beyond what those two indexing sites have i belive.

Google:
* filetype:torrent in search bar for a content/context list search or g * filetype:torrent in adressbar for an selectiv direct torrent download/save.
