What I think is an interesting possibility is the more than press the "piracy is bad" stuff, it could get to the point where mainstream society really, really hates it for no apparent reason and they start having propaganda in public schools over it, and all kinds of weird shit.
It's too late
It's part of the new generation to accept filesharing as a method of sharing.
And I love piracy; it's really incredible as a musician to see music spreading freely.

Taking on Napster years ago began the free fall that everyone's affected by.
Instead of figuring out how to make it work for everyone's benefit, the "powers that be" instead chose to sue "pirates" with the RIAA's blessing and vilifying themselves even more in the process. Other strokes of genius are the 360 deals where they madate taking a cut from every aspect of a band's income, which is even more disturbing.

Yup; I was really struck by a quote from the CEO of CDBaby -essentially saying their album sales were at their peak when Napster was- it makes no business sense to tear that awareness...

The major labels will screw up the internet because of DRM.
The major labels will screw up traditional copyright paranoia with DRM, not the internet music.
Honestly, if they were to DRM everything that ever passed their facilities, the most convenient method of going around it or reaching non-DRM music would skyrocket.
People naturally don't feel right about the internet (being a free flow of information) being regulated with information protections.
