It would probably please the ISPs too, if the RIAA could get a 'per copy uploaded' or 'per fileshared minute' type of outcome, as that would link the penalty to the transmitted datavolume.
If there are in fact countless intelligent civilizations out there, then the most intelligent ones (that have control over time+space, etc) will surely still want to be entertained, and that means they'll first visit the civilizations that are slightly less intelligent than them.
Of course, plenty of new civilizations will evolve to that interesting level continuously, so that should keep the ones at the top entertained enough to stop them bothering with civilizations that "can't handle the truth" yet.
I'm pretty sure everyone here will agree we're average at best, and more than likely just bottomfeeders obscured by the ocean of slightly more advanced civilizations above us.

One little engine that could, and a whole lot of others that think they can *sigh*

Case: (modded) Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder CPU and paraphernalia: anything (as long as it's not a Mac).
The goggles, they do nothing!
They've now collected enough material to do the next Ghostbusters movie.
