"Death of Bittorrent"? What a terrible linkbait title. Somehow, "File-sharing through sites such as BitTorrent has plummeted in North America" = Bittorrent dead. Meanwhile in Europe and elsewhere, Bittorrent usage continues to grow[1]. Not to mention the likes of Bittorrent Sync, aka Dropbox like service, synced using Bittorrent technology[2]. I believe growth in Bittorrent-derived technologies has huge potential, analogous to how Bitcoin-esque technologies have huge potential[3]. (even though Bitcoin has many flaws and Bitcoin itself may fail like Napster, it will spark creativity, based on ideas that Bitcoin brings together - Digital Signatures, Peer-to-Peer networks, Proof-of-Work meaning no central authority, and a Distributed Ledger).
