Quote from article, "The Hollywood-backed group wasted no time issuing requests for other ISPs to block access to The Pirate Bay as well."
Cut off the head and the body dies.
Key words are Hollywood + backed group.
The music business is no longer centralized in a few locations. The tubes took care of that.
We need to compensate (reward) the makers of content not the self appointed keepers of the mythical vault.
All thing old need to be made new again.
It's not a surprise. Trying to fight against the music industry in the technical arena is like trying to fight against water with a sword. Fortunately for those who use file sharing services the reverse applied to the political side is also true. The first side which gets a clue and takes the fight to the opponent will win.
In terms of this particular story, the subject of the story is the law suits. The objects are the file sharing companies. Taken down to the bare essence it is a government supported organisation suing another group of businesses because they aren't getting a cut of the profits. Technology has nothing to do with the story at this point.

Boycott all music groups concerts until they stop this anti piracy crap.
When they can't fill arenas anymore they might start to listen.
