This is already happening. Making a copy of a website is quite easy. Sure there are plenty of copycats of facebook out there, yet none is a threat. It happens a lot with games, apps etc too. Entertainment Content producers are not worried that someone will take their work and reuse it for their benefit, rather that they just don't pay for it. The real problem is not piracy (let's face it, even if SOPA passes, there are tons of ways to circumvent it). They need to realize that a) the actual value of their content has dropped due to technical advances and commoditization b) there is no better legal alternative to piracy in many cases (esp. if you live outside the US/UK).
People want to pay for content; there is just no easy way. Heck, I believe that even if they invented a "virtual ticket" that allowed you to watch a movie no matter which way you obtained it, people would buy.
