No they don't work properly, and yes we do censor the internet. My last two ISPs have sent me repeated warnings for downloading content.. 2-3 years ago it wasn't like that. Clearnet is on the downhill and it's going to crash hard. Torrentz and kat was serious shit, torrentz being around for like 15 years. It was my first torrent source. Pirating will be moving away from the current system in the next few years, and I suspect it won't be nearly as big atleast for the first few years, much like tor marketplaces.

They send warnings but they cannot enforce any of them.
I've been dowmloading torrents forever.

It's going to diminish slowly for sure, but not only because of them closing torrent sites. Torrent sites are like the last kink in the chain of pirated files, it's where the popular stuff ends up. The trackers themselves can pop up as soon as they go down, copied, hosted with ease on anyone's server briefly until it gets closed again. Private sites will always be around as well. And direct download sites, which have more content in specific areas than most torrent sites do, will reign supreme as they have since the Internets inception.
The real reason it will diminish is because they are finding new ways to lock content. They have programs that cannot be cracked anymore, games too. It'll be many years, but movies and music will be the same, they'll lock content using encryption so that the file cannot be easily shared with unregistered users. Media will start to be released in new formats, programs will be completely uncrackable with modern methods (will take too many millions of man hours to crack something).
It's not the laws that are going to kill file sharing - as the law has pretty much been against it since before the floppy disk - it's going to be the content creators and distributors finding new ways to protect the content itself.
On the plus side, everything will go down in price as well, or be on subscription cloud services. Even video games will be completely streamed in the near future.

I'm not going to pay 60 dollars for a game that my computer probably can't even run that is also crippled with intrusive DRM
If I go out and buy the shit and my computer can't run it im SOL. no refund or nothing.

I can go to jail for mushrooms too, so your argument is invalid.
I'd agree it's theft even though it's a copy though. I just don't care. I'll buy games, music and programs a lot of the time though regardless.

I've never had it ask me to download a client. I would not do that. This is the website: http://www.torrenthound.com/ . Just use the magnet links to download stuff with whatever torrent thing you use.

It's not theft if you're not taking anything from anyone. Plus, these are people who are voluntarily offering you a copy of something, not people who you are stealing from.
