Hardly. Filesharing will always exist in both legal and illegal forms; it's too late to do anything to stop filesharing now.

Also, you need a source link in your post.

People will find ways around anything. For example, I created an online storage account with Adrive for sharing (work-related, legal) files with my coworkers that were too large to email. Everybody knows the login and password. It's a little more complex than using a file-sharing site, but it works.

SOPA is stopped... for now anyway. What you have to watch out for is PIPA.

I think it's merely a mild annoyance that those file sharing websites are being shut down. If one site gets shut down though, another website will just take its place. An example of this would be the legendary suprnova which was shutdown in 2004. Despite the fall of suprnova, dozens of new sites were created to take its place.

Filesharing will never stop, even if some really important guys wish it would...
Some hosters will be closed, but new ones will pop up, it's just a matter of time.

I don't think file sharing is finished because there is another important filehoster called rapidshare. The headquarters of rapidshare is located in Switzerland. In Switzerland there are no restrictive laws against illegal downloading for home use.

Last time I checked filesharing will never be over as long as bit torrenting is not going any where at all. Besides people still have private forums and sharing sites so ya I'm not that very concerned. However I did use these sites to get music when I wanted to. I don't like this but it won't be the end of file sharing.

People will find ways around it, new sites will pop up. After Napster got shut down, Limewire came around, but now it is gone. If they were somehow able to completely stop illegal file sharing on the internet, people would go back to physical media. This was somewhat common before high speed internet. Think of Don't Copy That Floppy, only it would be burnt DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.

I'll admit, the loss of a huge amount of content on HTTP links has forced me on to torrents.

So the copyright industry have made me go from a medium where I was willing to spend money and where I wasn't reuploading copyrighted content, to a free medium where reuploading is a necessity and I'm doing it with a certain 100MBit/s connection.

Something tells me that's not the direction the industry was hoping for.
