Now, a better product WOULD remedy this to an extent, but still, there will still be those who just pirate it.

A better product? Personally speaking I am IN LOVE with the 2009 PPV's thus far. While RAW has been a big Cleveland Steamer lately (not every week, comon!), Smackdown, ECW & even Superstars have been all excellent regular TV shows.

The PPV"s this year have been on par with some of the highest quality WRESTLING the company has produced. While the matchups might be tainted as we do tend to get these big matchups for free on RAW, it goes without saying that the 2009 PPV schedule has been tight.

The Elimination Chambers, Taker vs HBK, Iron Man Match, Jerishow...The list could go on with how many great matches we have gotten this year.

I don't think ANYTHING changes the fact that free is always better. It is not a perfect system but like you said, if your stream dies it's not as if torrents aren't available just hours after the broadcast.

I won't blame the product, as I said, I feel the product on PPV has been strong as hell this year, I blame the fact that America isn't as rich as it was back in 2007 & technology has upped the ante and provided free stimulation....Nothing wrong with moving forward technologically...It is now up to WWE to figure out how to lasso it.
