There's no stopping this type of online movie/song sharing. So they can fingerprint mpeg and avi formats? We move P2P servers offshore, change format, etc. So suppose they come up with some crazy encryption and DRM that nobody can break (yeah right)? So what? All audio/video has to eventually be played, and I'll be sitting right there with my computer hooked up to the audio and video out jacks of my player re-recording the copyrighted media to a more suitable format to share with my friends.
