The industry already re-adjusted post cassette copying in the 70's and 80's, then the more damaging CD copying from the 90's onwards.
I've worked in the industry through that time, and recording budgets, studio time and session fees are all way, way down.
Thankfully some of the pressure has been taken off creativity by the developments in digital recording. In short, you don't have to book Air Studios for three months at $2k a day to make your album. You can do much of it at home...... and many (even major) artists now go this route.
The industry is smaller and leaner as a result.
I'm not holding my breath for this security technology you speak of.
As I've mentioned, illegal copying has been going on since the 70's.
The movie industry has more at stake, and they haven't successfully secured film or DVD yet, let alone the download sites.
