I should be clear that I don't think supply and demand are immovable levers by which the world economy does or should work. I also don't believe there's only one person with the ability to do this. If they stop, I'm left to assume one of the eight billion people on this rock with the time and talent and resources to do this will.
And if they don't then I'm just going to have to deal with it because this is internet piracy, my dude. But there's no world in which I'm going to defend what empress does as a vital public service. I think I would prefer that they stop and get help, but I don't expect that to happen.
