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.
Why not? You dont need scrips, just magnets to copy, that sounds secure.
I was thinking about the scripts surrounding a video player and episode management.
Over Tor a direct download might be better than torrent. I don't recall why tor is terrible for torrents, but my experience was lame in that regard.
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.
