Not just Bittorrent. All of the P2P networks are adapting to the threat. A new peer cache for the WinMX network is being developed in 'real time' while the machines online when the original Frontcode sites went down try to hold the network together. They've got it partly working already. And of course lots of people are just going to other networks. The Kazaa/WinMX generation of P2P developed after the original Napster was sued out of existence. Now a new generation of even more decentralized P2P will be developed that doesn't need a central server. (I think at least one program already has this 'completely independent' system. Gnutella? Sharezaa? One of those newer ones.)

If you view the situation from a darwinian point of view, the BC�s (Big Corporations) are forcing the developlment of more advanced software that allows free sharing of information in the world.
Piracy is only the most famous (and bandwidth hungry) use of these programs, but they can be used to share information freely and wthitout any kind of censure, so, forcing the development of newer and better sharing software by the pirates worldwide, the BC�s are in fact creating better tools to ensure the freedom of information for everyone.
Of course, the BC�s don�t have a clue of that their actions will ultimately cause...
