I bet it's cheaper for a bunch of bored techies to figure out "loopholes" in whatever Google builds, than it is for Google to adapt.

That sort of asymmetry is why giant companies can't stamp out piracy as well.

Given how few people continue to use Bittorrent these days, I'd say media companies have demonstrated an ability to do pretty well at customer capture and enforcement. Similarly, they don't have to completely eradicate adblockers, just reduce their usage into the noise.

That's only true if you ignore that Bittorrent has been largely replaced by pirate streaming.
