Video is not a complicated thing to decode from a file. It's just a series of still pictures. The FFmpeg project proves it's quite possible to reverse-engineer most any video format out there and produce a wholly independent video player.

Agreed. I think in our industry it makes more sense to go after the publisher and follow the money trail and eliminate the incentive. At this stage it's more of a social problem than a technological problem. It's better to attack the problem then socially as opposed to attempting to solely use technology. Go after the thieves, particularly those who knowingly profit from it first.
Compare it to the mother who wants to put in place some kind of parental block to prevent her 13 year old son from watching porn and being "damaged" by it. Technology itself isn't really the best way to solve the problem and it's unlikely to be effective anyway.
