If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they'd have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.

Tor is more focused on security and privacy, so most scripts will break. Torrents don't fare well on Tor, and I can't imagine streaming will either.

Piracy isn't only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.
