I think technology will eventually solve the problem, if only because content providers and distributors are VERY focused on the problem of protecting IP rights for digital goods. If they don't, we'll end up with fewer content providers, as the case of Mr. Jordan suggests.

Good luck cracking down on a hub that is within a country without any anti piracy laws. The most notable torrent sites aren't run in the US you know.
