Telling someone that a magical device that lets them have movies and TV and music for free is illegal is like telling a starving person that the food is a little bland.

You aren't going to stop them.

People lie cheat and steal all day long in one form or another and then head to church on Sunday. Welcome to America. Welcome to humanity.

How many of you report every dollar you make at tax time? How many of you used the business credit card the last time you took your wife out? How many of you fight parking/traffic tickets even though you know you were guilty? How many can look around in their junk drawers and find pens and post-its that walked out of your bosses office supply cabinet and into your pocket and then made the trip to your houses junk drawer? How many of you speed when you drive? Who knowingly lets their car/business insurance laps? Who claimed their daughters laptop Christmas present as a business expense? Who cheats on their wives or husbands?

Hollywood has no one to blame but themselves. Napster and the wannabes who followed aren't on our radar anymore because the music industry made it so that you can go buy any song you want from any service or you can pay a subscription for streaming. With TV you still have to play games about what platform gets what titles etc. And if you ever tried to watch TV on a stations website with your cable company login...you may want to jump out of a window as your computer crashes while 2 or 3 minutes of ads load during each commercial break.

Want to put a stop to illegal movie downloads? Make it so the major players like itunes and google can offer everything and people will get tired of the illegal downloads and 3rd party hack boxes and just pay the pennies each month to watch the content they want.
