You can either attempt to cut it's head off now, or let it naturally develop into something with some order that can be used by the industry. That is my take on this.

the "early days" where millions of people were searching for 1000s of pages cannot possibly be compared to today in any way, shape or form. all those "problems" of the early days didn't evolve into something else... they were for the most part, eradicated by people refusing to do business with those people.
unless of course "the early days" to you means 2 years ago or something.
you can't compare a wild west free for all that had yet to settle into some sort of order to the increasing problem of blatent content theft and copyrighted content sharing that is happening on a scale that was NEVER possible before now.
