Of course a significant reduction of the plague of copyright infringment must be preceded by a more significant semplification of copyright laws.
First we have to set simpler rules and to make the copyright expiry date the same in the whole world, get rid of geographic restrictions, make easy for everyone to know the exact copyright status of every edition of every production. After that we can efficiently address the matter of enforcing it.
It's a matter of priorities: if we make legit content easier to get and more usable, it will be much easier to reduce the illicit download phenomenon to a small niche.
And of course, if we care more about education than market, we will also set a significantly shorter copyright.
