i've got a crazy idea so bear with me.
how about instead of spending money trying to plug holes like the dutch boy, how about publishers use that money to promote their authors and give potential customers a reason to buy legitimate copies? or instead of paying lawyers, they use the spare money they obviously have to lower prices? crazy i know. i'm no business major so that might be a nutty idea.
or, in a worst case scenario, they simply stop selling ebooks?
human nature simply isn't going to change because these publishers say so. instead of going after those who have already turned to the 'darkside', give the legitimate customers you have a reason to continue being legitimate customers instead of allowing them to be drawn towards piracy. it all goes back to the same arguments: either lower prices and ditch drm or they'll continue trying to plug the dam.
