The whole "free culture" croud just want to get their shit free, they're not going to settle with any "cheap" replacements - ZERO is the only price they're ready to pay. Maybe legal download services, if available, will have some moderate success, but the vast majority of current TBP downloaders will still be pulling their shit free from TBP. Until the damn thing is dead no legal replacements, however cheap, are going to really compete and make it up for the lost income.
Our own industry is the best example of that - unlike major studios we do provide convenient DRM free downloads at fair prices, and just look where we are now.
