THe fatal flaw of the assumption behind your question is one of scalability. If everyone does this, the results won't be the same. Indeed, a sense of entitlement will kick in and content will go back to being stolen.

The problem with digital content has always been that of scale and content eventually becoming GENERIC

What makes this experiment SUCCESSFUL is its NOVELTY. That is, truly, the answer to your question: if people focused on quality instead of quantity and focuses on specific niches, they should be okay regardless of the threat of piracy
