why it's all of a sudden offering a subscription.

They're obviously offering a subscription to make money on pirated software. Your claim was they weren't, at all.

Want to take a guess as to where Sharman networks has most of their servers based in?

The repositories are all over the globe. Money is siphoned from the pirates to fund whatever other illegitimate activities they are involved in.

Really? Where did I say that? In fact, what I said is that TERRORISTS are not making money from these programs, which was YOUR claim. Also, after visiting the KaZaa website, I found no place to actually subscribe to an upgraded membership. Perhaps you are talking about scam websites, but I highly doubt those make any money (provide evidence otherwise, please, otherwise I'll assume they make about as much money as the Nigerian e-mail scams, which is to say not too much), and this legislation really has nothing to do with it, nor is there anything the US can really do about internationally based servers.

Evidence, please.

What I'm trying to tell you is that there's far more money to be made off of other illegal activities, like drugs, than there is off of P2P. You should be in the Drug War threads trying to convince everyone to legalize marijuana so that we can grow our own instead of funding terrorist activities.
