wait, they're stopping illegal activity, and people are upset?
No. They're middle-men ensuring that private interest organisations can circumvent the courts. That's why people are upset. These organisations have lobbied the legislature to avoid having to deal with a judiciary system that often found their methods to be unlawful. Some of these sites are outlets for people committing felony copyright infringement, but others are not. Torrenting, for example, is not a crime. It's a tort handled as a civil matter.
