Actually stopping piracy from a technical point of view is relatively straight forward. The probably are addressing some of the business implications that result. If you want to choke off piracy you need to stop all DVD and bluray sales as we know it. This will happen within 5 years. Without easy access to content you're going to significantly hinder piracy. Cams can still be done to a degree but there are ways to stop them in their tracks too.
The problem we have today is the free mentality of society. Too many times people are used to getting things for free. However, if everyone gets their TV/movie content for free then who is going to pay to create it? That's the problem.
Part of the challenge the next N years is coming up with the business model and the distribution system to allow content producers to make money in today's world. What we have today likely isn't sustainable.
