They aren busting little downloaders. Their busting the ones that are distributing, the ones with terabytes of stuff and millions and millions in pirated software.
The problem is, for every hub they take down, tons more pop-up. And in the last year or so, the biggest blow to the fight against piracy has been Bit Torrent. While it is trackable(not for long), its more controllable to where authority figures cant do anything, as well and 100000x easier to get something with it than searching hubs forever looking for stuff.
To me it just seems like a waste to fight piracy head on by taking down hubs or whatever. Help develop new copy protection. The game "Sacred" that came out not too long ago had some of the hardest copy protection yet. It never was fully cracked and even with the methods out now it still wont run on most systems.

the people who they arrested were like me. they supervised hubs making sure no one was distributing child porn, or snuff films- or in the case of european hubs, nazi propoganda, and the like. they wouldnt even allow execution videos. they gave a personal sense of morality to one of the most unsupervised aspects of the internet, p2p.
they didnt share files. admins dont distribute files on the networks. their bandwidth is used for the functioning of the hub, and people leech from them because they are connected all the time. thats why ops dont share either. why these people? with all the sickos these admins prevent from distributing child porn over a free network, the fbi would rather crack down on the admins. these are people who weren't all hackeresque or up against the man, they just liked housing a community and maintaining a network. one of them wouldnt even cuss and was a cyberangel also methinks.
damn youd think there would be more important things to do with the intelligence budget.

It doesnt cost very much to make up intellegence and change the terror alert lvl 
What I read though is the people running the hub were arrested because they were sharing lots of pirated software. Maybe this is a different one?

Theres an anonymous BT client project in the works, it masks IP adresses. But really, the only ones monitoring BT right now is the MPAA to stop new movie piracy. RIAA hasnt done anything with it.
