alright sopa , pipa dead-ish. constant appearance of bills these make me wonder how damage piracy different industries?
can't find empirically shows piracy has caused reduction in film viewership, or music purchasing.
bbc article:

can think of last time didn't go see movie friends or gf because watch in grainy low def on laptop? might watch film because bored, , want watch, not because "getting freeeee!!!".
music/tv can see more evidence damaging. given option between affordable legal methods listen music , watch shows (hulu, spotify, netflix etc.) think people chose legal method.
quite willing watch commercials on hulu because know helps pay continuation of shows like. i'm fine commercials on spotify because helps pay music like. , netflix offers product @ rate have no problem paying.
know piracy supposed running media companies ground. i'm not buying it, sure stuff gets shared:
shared, not stolen because nothing taken cannot sold due absence.
yes files shared, yet adequately proven me shared items directly linked decrease in sales. know sharing of copyrighted materials might lead improved sales and/or box office success.
have strong causal data?
notwithstanding points, i'm sure lobbyists media, in washington, continually stress loss of tax revenue caused piracy of intellectual property.
, politicians/bureaucrats can hear dollar bill hit floor @ 10 paces.
