As someone else pointed out TPB only track torrent files and dont moderate what is listed. You do not seem to realise that TPB and all other 'pirate' torrent sites have flourished because of the content industries sheer greed and lack of understanding of what the consumer actually wants. Your game is small fry caught up in the drag net that is TPB drag net. You can sit there and say that you are losing money but actually your game is probably going to get more exposure, especially now its been plugged on slashdot. Please do not use the fact that someone downloaded the content from TPB as evidence of a lost sale instead think of them as a potential future customer and ask yourself why didnt they buy the game and is there a way for you to get them to part with their cash in the future. If you were hypothetically able to confront someone who always downloaded content from TPB you will probably find they will never pay for the game unless they really wanted it and had no other choice. I am all for artists being compensated for their work but if the consumer does not see value in what they are paying for they will go elsewhere to find it cheaper or an alternative. This is a huge topic covered in many articles and dont have time to go into depth on it.
