Im not sure why you keep saying it wont be adopted by mainstream? There are even ATM machines you can now use
This is all fringe stuff. Nobody is shouting from the rooftops saying they are making money by accepting Bitcoin. What these (mostly tech) companies do achieve by accepting Bitcoin is publicity - something that makes it worthwhile to promote themselves as accepting Bitcoin.

There's no shortage of news about Bitcoin ATM's such as http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/02/bitcoin-atm/

However the fact is that these machines are illegal in most western countries, so I don't know how they're going to get around the regulatory issues.

In any case, the premise of this thread was about Bitcoin being leveraged in Piracy and the fact is that nobody is making money with Piracy and Bitcoin, that may change but I doubt it in the short to medium term.
