Its not the ability to copy that we need to fear at all. This is irrelevant. What needs to be stopped, and what can be stopped, is easy access and high traffic to these easy access sites.
Comparing the failed war on drugs to the war on piracy is flawed. Drug users are addicted to the "goods". Parasites are not addicted to free movies. They are lazy and stupid and most of them will quit once pirated stuff becomes a pain in the ass to get.
Making life hard to pirates will make a difference. It's like turning off facebook. It's not the end of social networking but there will never be another Facebook again. User experience in 2.0 is dictated by the # of other users and their content. A new pirate site means NOTHING without user uploads and visits.
