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.
Usenet, irc, private ftp results don't rank on every google result.

Nothing will stop file sharing. but as you said yourself it's all about visibility and convenience.

btw this is what happens to a file locker when it stops paying per download..
