mr markham,
although i think your intentions are benevolent, what you propose won't do jack shit to beat piracy.
A free wheeling internet like today has no mechanisms for preventing content sharing. Consumers don't give a crap about piracy, in fact it works for them because its free.
One solution is the internet goes communist. Meaning a shadowy consortium of government bureaucrats, ISP providers, & studio heads decide what flows through the internet & what does not.
It would take punitive copyright laws & a branch of law enforcement to enforce those laws. The laws would force computer & TV makers to remove copying mechanisms from their products. They would force ISPs to shut down sites that distribute copyrighted content. They would regulate what companies can be an ISPs on the web.
Basically it would be a disaster for free expression & convert the web into a communist regime run by a small group of illuminati.
Assuming a communist internet never happens, the correct answer is to find alternative income streams from mere content production. There will always be value for live, first run content. Hollywood has movie theatres, Music has concerts. Porn will find value in webcam.
