If people are illegally distributing copyrighted material, the answer is clearly to introduce rigorous measures to prevent it, such as traffic monitoring by ISPs.
And that will work just great against encrypted packets.


If copyright dies, it will be because it is no longer technologically relevant. It was invented in the earliest days of the Industrial Age, 300 years ago. It could be seen as an artifact of that age, not the current Information Age. Something new will have to be invented to replace it.
