This is obvious progress due to the lawsuits of recent years. File-sharing will move over to take advantage of IP addresses of countries with relaxed copyright legislation. If all countries implemented strict copyright laws, there's I2P and other similar encrypted anonymous networks. People just have to trade off transfer speed to get what they already used to have in the 90's.

I think that the fact people are willing to pay for a VPN just to get a better, "pirated", product no thanks to MAFIAA aptly underlines the severity of the challenges that content industry is facing.

Money is not the issue why those who have money do pirate content.
