TV is a fortress of regulated natural monopolies or at least that is the history. Whatever transposes in the TV realm to go to true digital distribution will require some new disruptive content creators partnering with internet distributors and that that system needs to be highly popular. In other words, unlikely.
The regulatory system for TV has been completely captured by the industry so don't expect much.
As such, online pirating will continue unabated. It's a natural response to an industry that is dead set against actually providing what the customer wants. No sympathy.
