Piracy is stealing.

We have an invented right on one side and destroying a very good thing that have stimulated progress and inventions in ways that would not have happened without it (the internet) on the other side. So do you destroy the internet and all the advantages or do you change the copyright laws to some other form that works together with the internet?

All rights are invented.
But, yeah, the harm caused by piracy isn't so great that you should tear down the internet to stop it.
How do you imagine copyright should be changed? Do you think piracy would stop if there were a 15 year limit?
The fact is, some people are going to steal things, just like they steal physical goods. There are laws against both, but neither will ever stop all crime.
