There are only a handful of popular torrent sites. TPB was by far the biggest. The arguably second two are in litigation right now (mininova - ruling in two weeks -and isohunt), which leaves basically btjunkie and a few privates like demonoid.
Even the adamantly pro-p2p sites agree: torrenting has reached or passed its zenith. As more sites are shut down and site owners jailed or fined, there will be fewer individuals willing to risk opening new ones.
If pirates will want to keep pirating en masse in the years to come, they will have to devise a new and better protocol - something they have thus far been unable to do.
In the mean time the legal streaming/buying/subscription options will keep growing.
