In the long run most likely yes :(

Has always been a cat and mouse game for more than 6 years. There will always be a way as long as google doesn't implement something like "device integrity" in order to watch youtube videos.

The analog hole. As long as human eyes can perceive the video, there will always be a way to preserve it, even if we need to fall back to analog (we wont, probably).
