I read a similar article a few days ago. Overall, p2p and pirating has been decreasing (including both music and movies). Personally, I feel like it comes from the fact that it is more difficult to pirate things these days. You need access to private trackers or know how to setup BT and use public trackers. Let's be entirely honest, BT is not exactly noob friendly. It's not as easy as the LimeWire or Kazaa days where you just load one program, search and download within the same program.
Also, with the increasing popularity of more and more online video streams it makes it easier to watch movies and videos that way rather than download them. More and more people use youtube as a music player, as well. I think the decrease of p2p is from the lack of available pirating options that the every day consumer has.
I can't say that pirating overall has gone down, but it is a known fact that p2p has decreased.
