It's not just encryption. The big media copyright holders are pushing the development of transfer systems which use techniques to defeat traffic analysis as well, guaranteeing that the content you see isn't at the place you're getting it from but is just being relayed from there.
Once every transfer system is using both encryption and onion routing and related techniques, even traffic analysis won't be of value.

Assuming the premise of the story is right, the efforts of those big media copyright holders are assisting terrorists and paedophiles. Maybe they should be discouraged from doing so?
