I think it will end up like other systems have, as it gets to be a more widely used system it will get regulated and policed just like cable tv did, and as much of the internet is starting to get too.
Will it be surpassed by something else? Sure will, people always have shared things(Tape recordings etc) as long as it was easy with minimal risk.
or it will be fragmented and sharing will continue through smaller and more obscure systems either encrypted server/client like KDX or something like Hamachi.
Until then, long live the sneakernet

Everything comes to an end ... but will eventually be replaced by some other form of filesharing.
It's the spirit of sharing they cannot destroy and as long as that spirit is alive people will continue working on other P2P-applications to continue sharing their files.
ISP's can and do indeed already throttle bandwith when it come to BT-traffic. This will just continue to augment until it is virtually impossible to use it for most people. BT will pay the price for it's own success. That's what always happens when one filesharing method becomes very popular.
The only thing to do is to get an alternative for when it's time ends.
