Let's pretend, for a minute, you could stop for profit piracy (you can't, but let's pretend you can). What do you think will happen then?
I'll tell you, it will just be like before file lockers started. Torrents, usenet, irc, private ftp, forums etc will just take over again.
All file lockers did was make it slightly technically easier for noobs to pirate stuff and made a few people rich.
Removal of that aspect of piracy will not have any real impact in people sharing copyrighted content that they shouldn't be sharing.
