Piracy will die before most movies skip theaters. Both will happen before 2020.

They can't even stop people from buying cocaine and heroine online, and you think they'll shut down piracy within the next 5 years?

They profit from online drug sales, right? I'll admit, I never perused the silk road.

The only way the kill piracy is to make everything affordable to the regular person instead of gouging them for as much as they can. Corporate greed is what drives piracy.

Or they can pass a law which gives the government the right to censor the internet which they are actively looking to do.

The US government can't censor the entire world's internet. And even if it could, you could just bypass it using VPNs, Tor, etc.
Many of the biggest pirates aren't even from the US. The Pirate Bay was created by Swedes and hosted in Sweden. Russians are some of the biggest players in all things that relate to piracy, hacking, and the online black market.
I can buy pirated games in the Phils at kiosks in the mall.
That is not all going away because of some stupid bill passed by the US.
