Site shutdown won't stop illegal downloads

I recently went to see the Hollywood blockbuster 2012 in a cinema. The movie was worth my 60 yuan, but the experience will be just an exception. I prefer to watch films on the Internet, for free.

So the recent shutdown of btchina.net, one of the most popular download sites in China, was a real disaster for myself and millions of other Chinese. For the protection of copyright, the government shut it down in the hope it would stop illegal uploads and downloads of movies.

I believe this was a right thing to do, but I doubt it can stop BT@China's users from engaging in the illegal activity.
