Darknet. You been reading Daniel Suarez's Daemon lately or something?
.. I personally don't ever see filesharing moving to just private networks, I think it's too much of a cultural thing now (cat's out of the bag so to speak) such that people are aware that this stuff exists out there and normally will find a way if they really want something... but yes some of this action may help to reduce the low hanging fruit, though personally I believe good markets will tend to have a bigger impact on this, as will maybe an acknowledgement that the value of things changes and that your good just might not be worth as much in the digital world.
