Quite frankly I think you're entirely, entirely wrong. However, and whether you're wrong or not: to actually make torrents, direct downloads and P2P so hard to access as to constitute an actual chore would would require measures so draconian and 1984ish (new term?) that I can't see it ever happening.
With all due respect it seems to me that those who believe it's a possibility and hold out hope of it happening are people who simply don't understand how widespread digital piracy is, how easy it is to both get into it and facilitate and how incredibly hard it would be to do anything meaningful about it.
