Look Roger,
Asking netizens to support beaurocracratic interference is less likely
to succeed than asking turkeys to vote for Christmas & Thanksgiving, or
asking demons to vote for Armageddon.
The facts are, that whatever the system, people will crack it. Real
concerted attempts were made to prevent breach of copyright in the music
world, with only minor and limited success. And that had the worldwide
support that your suggestions don't yet have.
Whether it would be a better system is anyone's guess. Whether a
beaurocracy is capable of running anything to everyone's satisfacytion
yet remains to be proved. But I see little point in debating this, as it
will never happen.
