If it was ripped out you know they'd find a way around it. Also, though DCC is used alot, alot of trading also occurs via FTP, so that would probably just grow.
You are absolutely right! I'm going to go right now and write a letter to my Congressman telling him how we should abolish the prison system seeing as how people are still going to commit crimes even with prison as a deterrent. Why should we waste time and money to maintain a prison system if it has been shown that people still commit crimes even when prisons exist?
Well now back to reality. Just because people will find other ways to commit their crimes doesn't mean nothing should ever be done to stop crime. Will removing fserv stop filesharing? Of course not, but it will slow it. mIRC is known as "the" program to get if you want to get warez. From just people I know personally, more use IRC for filesharing than they do Kazaa or any other p2p application. So it won't cut off warez's head, but maybe it can slice off an arm.
