He's right the internet simply isnt going to be the same Wild Wild West it is now. But that pretty much just means that more people are gonna go to clandestine sources to get what they want and need. More people on Deep Web/onion network shyt, usenet groups etc etc.

Napster, torrent and all the file sharing websites is the reason. It is an easy way to pirate and spread copyrighted data.
Corporations, business people and artists are pushing for the crackdown. Seriously, no one cares about your family photos to the Grand Canyon that you uploaded to depositfiles. It is the entertainment business, movies and music, that are getting ripped off. Back before the internet, you could pirate music but that entailed tape recording a master copy (casette or vinyl record) onto a blank cassette. Movies were copied from a master copy onto a VHS blank tape. Handheld video cameras were too way large back in the 80s to bring secretly into a movie theater. Plus they were very expensive. It would be hard to profit from. With smaller camcorders, that started becoming a way to pirate a movie, which forced movie makers to stick in a blank frame every couple frames to put the kibosh on that.
