Here are the real world options:

a) Using a copyright license and basically trusting your users (very common)
b) Suing grandmothers and 9 year olds (the RIAA strategy)
c) Trying to force standardized DRM on everyone, and have it cracked 2 days after it comes out (the MPAA strategy)
d) Get into an all out arms race with pirates, investing tons of time and money into constantly breaking the pirate's methods (Dish Network/DirectTV)
LOL it doesn't work for the rest of the world though.

You just gave examples why.


You cant expect the unwashed masses to respect Copyright the Same way a bunch of open source developers do.

Look at Naspter and all its Descendants.
