LOL!
It is the British welfare system, like America's, is utterly destroying jobs!
Continuous "entitlements" create a dependency not unlike slavery. No government in history has every survived on a fiat currency.

You are in the wrong place for that topic.
People who don't want to pay will always find a way around it.
Copying vcrs movies and dubbing tapes in teh 80's. Copying and burning DVD's in the 90's And now its the Mp3 and Divx era. For the legal people Piracy has only helped to improve their entertainment life. The problem that the Movie and music industry is having. They can no longer sell the crap product as easily now as they used too. Communication between viewers and listeners of the same product online isn't very hard to find. Not like it was 30 years ago. Its easier to know if you are getting a crap product or not.

There are better &faster private torrent sites out there. This will do nothing to fix the problem. Do you want google blocked as well so people cannot find new torrents??

Why does the movie and music industry always claim piracy causes job losses. I think the money people save from getting free movies and music is spent on essential products and goods, thus creating jobs.
