Fair enough.  I've already expressed my preference for the legal
system, so I'd honestly say I PREFER the **AA's "sue everyone" legal
campaign over DRM, because:

1) Unlike DRM, it could theoretically actually stop an act of piracy
2) Unlike DRM, it could have a deterrent effect on future piracy
3) Unlike DRM, it theoretically allows the full range of fair use

So basically my answer would be a modification to the "sue everyone"
campaign but with some basic preliminary fact-checking before the suit
is filed.

Now I bet it's my turn to be flamed ;)
