At some point in the not terribly distant future the wealthy countries, at least, still move to a mincome scheme (this has already started in a few places but it's far from widespread). Around that time people will be able to work on what they want without fear of being unable to pay their rent/mortgage (at some further point our currency economy will need to be seriously reevaluated, but that's at least a couple decades away, IMHO). It's at the point when needs (not just essential) are met by default that I'll be completely comfortable torrenting whatever. Until then, if you can afford it (this is a really important point), you need to pay for the content whenever possible (ignoring captive audience extortion, ofc).
If someone doesn't pay for it, the content stops being made.
