Sure, but the point is that TPB is well known and everyone's mom is getting some kind of something from there. I am sure that if just 5 nerds got together we could compile a bah-ton of crazy files.
Personally I use Beyond TV to record HD shows and it then converts the files to DIVX. I can keep a couple of TB of shows and movies without batting an eye. I am sure that I could (if I wanted to) put these in a torrent automatically as they finished and share that with some kid that works for Redbox and rips movies all day long... We could amass bah-thousands of video files and probably never have anyone the wiser.
The point is, TPB is all over the place and everyone knows about it. It will likely turn into something like Napster. Everyone used it for a few years and now hardly anyone does, but they must be making some kind of money to still be around.
Truthfully, it sounds like their business model is more close to a cross between YouTube and Pandora or Slacker. They are just going to assume that it is all good, pay people if it is not and remove content if someone wants them to.
Also, if TPB goes away, then MPAA and RIAA will claim victory and maybe chill out a little and quit taking old grandmas to court.
