People who think 'nothing can be done' about P2P and content theft have no idea what happens when huge companies and governments decide they want to take action. My guess is we will end up with some horrible restrictions that are way too broad and overreaching, including things affecting hardware design, OS design and browser design in the not too distant future.

Billions or Trillions of dollars are being stolen and untaxed.
That will not be allowed to continue forever.
Good news.
