and whats your solution to:
1) send DMCA
2) hope offending site doesn't ignore it
3) then they take the material down and put it right back up (slightly altered file name)
4) then they put up some other bit of your work
5) copyright holder has to do this every single day (remember - hundreds of thousands of potential offending sites)
6) and the copyright owner also has to be able to 'register' to private sites or PAY to get on to rapidshares or download.to or hundreds of other 'pay' filesharing sites.
sure - you make it sound easy - but you are not actually thinking of the scope of what you say.
try again

My magic solution? Like I said in my second post. If YOU want to produce and sell a digital product, specially online. YOU need to be prepared to protect YOUR copyright.
If YOU aren't going to take the time to protect YOUR copyright. YOU should either stfu about people committing copyright infringement, or gtfo of this business.
Plain and simple.
It's not the local authorities job to police copyright infringement. Anyone producing digital products with copyrights should know that. Right? If you have copyrighted material, you should understand the copyright law? I mean, it only makes sense right?
Therefore, if we pretend that everyone here producing copyrighted material knows the copyright law (lol yeah right) and they understand they have to protect their own copyright because it's not anyone elses responsibility other than the copyright holder's.
Nope, instead we're on an industry board. An industry who's sole business is selling digital copyrighted material. In a thread discussing copyright infringement. Where almost all of the posters have made comments that directly conflict with how the copyright law and system works. Funny isn't it? This whole industry revolves around copyrighted material, and almost no one understands the copyright system.
The U.S. Government or police don't need to step in and save you. The laws don't need to be rewritten, and new ones don't need to be made. The laws and system are already in place. You just need to educate yourselves for one second and then use that system to protect your copyright.
