Nice idea in theory but it doesn't work. For every person that votes with their wallet, there's a thousand that don't.
I keep trying in the vain hope that one day the masses will realize that they don't *have* to just accept being shafted but I see no signs of hope.
Maybe if they were trying to introduce the death penalty for anybody caught copying / ripping a CD you'd get a decent size reaction - for anything less you'll get a vast majority of either:
a) People that don't even realize they can do something about it and
b) Even more people who know the consequences but think "ooOoo but I really want that nice new shiny thing".

You won't ever see them trying to stop UK versions being played on other countries machines as it just wouldn't be in their interested.
