That is how it has always worked in the past, what makes you think it won't in the future? There has always been people getting some or all of their media for free. The only thing the internet brought to the party was the ability to monitor how many times something is copied.
Remember home taping is killing the music industry? Or how VCRs were going to destroy the film industry? Guess what ...
