The Music industry has pretty much adapted. The amount of Piracy has decreased pretty significantly with things like Itunes and music sites like Pandora (f##k you CRTC).
The Video Games industry has adapted - with things like Steam / Origin they are really cutting down on piracy for online games, especially when they distribute them at a reasonable price.
Both of these industries have seen reductions in piracy rates and price drops for the consumer.
So why hasn't film and television adapted yet. I would wager that far more people who download illegally download TV shows or movies vs. video games or music.
I don't see why that industry shouldn't be forced to change.
