When are they going to actually realize that the moment one site Is taken down, another 5 sites (mirrors , alternatives or otherwise), begin to surface shortly after. Not good that after so many years, What.cd has come to an end.

They do. They have plenty of task forces assembled just to tackle terrorism, rapists, etc. But it's extremely hard to capture terrorists, since, they usually do a lot of planning to avoid being caught. Same with intelligent killers, or rapists, they are extremely difficult to catch. And these file-sharing sites are technically against the law, therefor, they have no choice to assemble a force to take it down - which is extremely easy for them to do; don't blame the law enforcement, they just do their job. They, as in their title, simply enforce whatever the law is.

Get my point?

Yes, obviously the police have their special forces dedicated to each crime. That's a given and always will be.

What I'm saying Is, rather than "wasting" their valuable resources on all these Illegal websites, they should generate their authority to the more superior crimes (as I've mentioned above), that not only affect lives In the long-term, but also result In lives lost when a murder takes place. Evidently, the police see a loss of Income due to Illegal file sharing of greater Importance than loss of lives due to terrorist attacks, murders and the like.

You've made some very valid points and I certainly agree. I'm just stating my opinion, nothing more.
