The effect is that both piracy and trading would be effectively shut down and it is no longer profitable to do both.

Trading, if anything more than 50% of my run, I'd rather go boom so I can start again. So I try to RP with the pirate and usually its sucessful, I get to keep over 50% of my profits, we both continue on our way.
The occasional mad jerk who asks for 10mil (1.5x my profit) I of course try to RP with him still, but if he wouldn't budge its obvious he doesnt want money but is actually a pvpwhore. Obviously some people can't be reasoned with. So I would have to head to the sun and die if he takes ALL my cargo... and which pirate wouldn't take a big ship when they want to pirate for cargo?

Anyways, now from the pirate's point of view.
Where are you gona sell that cargo? Those bases where the trader intends to drop off is probably hostile, or deep in hostile house space. So, chances are he will be stopped by a cop/navy before then. While I'm blockade enforcing, I don't engage smaller craft if they stop, thats my escort's job. However if a trader said he had just been pirated by that guy, I will stalk him down with extreme prejudice. And the pirate knows that. In fact, if I get pirated for cargo, I'd get one guy to sit outside the base I intended to sell at so the pirate can't sell MY goods. Besides, if they wanted to do all that hauling, they might as well be a smuggler.

Just my .02, pirating for cargo wouldn't be profitable for both parties.

If you want to set a pirate rule, set a % limit on how much they can pirate. Most pirates won;t exceed the limit so doesn't affect them the slightest, in fact they might as well pretend it doesn't exist. Only the pvpwhores who want a fight and using piracyRP as an excuse would be affected.
