I am sure that for music sharing, including copyrighted materials, there will be other services - at least for several years more. If the U.S. legal system manages to shut down such services
within the United States, companies can be set up outside the U.S., so at the very least, it will take quite a while before such services stop. From the point of view of the copyright holders, the situation will be especially difficult if such a company decides to register in some small country - the same countries that are traditionally used as tax havens.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
