They will never kill Bittorrent. It's just not possible the way it works. Much like any open source software, the right - and, with bittorrent, the necessity - of users forking means that it is truly an impossibility for all activity of it to completely stop.

I think all file sharing programs should be outlawed.

Why? Sure, they are used for pirating commerical software and movies etc., and this should be stopped.
But they are also used for legitimate reasons: Bittorrent especially is a favourite way to distribute Open Source Software, among alot of other free to download things, because it eases stress on the webservers, while (unlike other networks) giving the possibility to ensure that the users get a trustworthy copy, and that they get the most recent version.
