Bully everyone and pass restrictive laws yields more piracy than ever, and a good crop of mentors for future pirates.
Build quality streaming services with excellent selection of media, and the piracy community shrinks. (Sad, when it happens, because there's evidence that wide-coverage digital media preservation is nearly impossible without the piracy community.)

It's almost like the Movie Industry doesn't care about any of the things they claim they care about...

Edit: I guess it's possible they're playing out a long con to ensure their favorite episodes of "I Love Lucy" survive...

Edit 2: No, I don't really think they're somehow secretly not the assholes they appear to be.

Time to invest in some foreign VPNs.

They will just ban VPN and make the punishment for being caught ridiculously draconian. Like terrorism charges.
