Define "most".

Most popular

You're still horribly missing key definition points.
Do you mean "illicit distribution?" Then yeah, probably a little.
If you mean the current most popular discussion venues did a permanent 404, then the second most popular sites would rise in popularity.
If you mean any and all forms of internet communication are cut, then yeah, of course it'll plummet. Shit's less cool when you don't have friends to ramble about. It would probably plummet a whole lot in japan too, although such an occurrence might get a few hikikomori to seek real human interaction.

Have people stopped illegally downloading music?
Then you don't have to worry about anime.

Or you can move to Japan and learn the language. Though you probably should learn the language first before moving

You are not noob (well, perhaps you are, but it shouldn't be an excuse here), you are just making silly statements based on even sillier information. If you want to see how the anime industry will pan out take a look at the music one, it's been what? 10 years since Napster? And just now we are starting to get into a consensus between availability and distribution.
The cinema industry is another Jurassic beast refusing to adapt and we have been seeing the backlash this is causing. Either it be Hadopi law on France or the blackmail scheme from ACS.Law it will take a good decade for them to change their market strategy to carther to their new environment. And make no mistakes, don't think they are doing all this out of fear or anything, they are just doing a business move to capitalize while the law don't catch up to them. In the US people are just starting to realize these "settlement letters" are illegal, but everywhere else it's still a very viable revenue source for them. They aren't stupid, and they know it's futile to fight piracy, they are just doing a rational decision to profit upon it while they can.
Now, anime is a much MUCH (really A WHOLE LOT) smaller animal than previous ones, so it can adapt better and faster if people are smart enough to learn from the stupidity of others. One good hint of it going in that direction is the current landscape of manga. Although I am dubious to label it as a good development (and I am a bit inclined to swing my fists on the air and swear at them instead), the advent of OpenManga on US or MangaOnWeb over at Japan are good hints that the landscape is achieving a healthy mid therm between piracy and legal distribution faster than both previous mentioned industries.
Funimation (albeit doing a pretty silly move with the whole "Americanized anime" thing they are trying to pull out) constantly pushing traditional formats such as DVD and BluRay and CrunchyRoll trying to license as many legal streams they can are astonishing contributions to the ecosystem outside Japan.
The only real big issue that might surface is the proposed "loli-ban". Several prefectures are already going forward with it and several others are thinking of even cruder implementations of the original text. If that wasn't enough, several western countries just consider anime/manga as something that must get rid off, so if we don't keep the "feminazis" in check we might have a problem there. But rest assured, even in this extreme case we still have some sane people going against it... not that the proposed "shut down" control over the internet going trough US parliament are any good indications, but still, if anything can be taken from the news around the web (a ton of them at Sancom actually), is that the landscape is not nearly as bad as one might think from sensationalist allegations.
Speaking at this moment about ludicrous topics such as this one is a waste of time... you would rather go seek more information other than trying to stimulate a discussion that won't go anywhere productive with such a thread starter.

^ tl:dr
anyway, I don't think it will ever be down. There would always be people keeping it alive, the same way music downloading didn't die when Kazaa came down, when napster came down and when Pirate bay was shut etc. Alternative solutions always evolved

Can we form a consensus to ban anyone who says tl:dr? I find it to be a grotesque celebration of illiteracy and ignorance, and insulting to those who engage in detailed discussion.

tl:dr = too long, did not read
Or something like that.
Personally, if you're not gonna respond to the post, why even mention it at all.On topic: People are usually resourceful enough to find alternatives if a site gets shut down. So...it probably won't hamper the flow of otaku that much. Not that they're really cracking down on anime distribution that much. I still find it safer to download anime than say..something owned by a large american company like disney.
