Alas the heart of our difference of opinion. There are no guarantees in life. Technology can't guarantee payment or prevent theft, laws can't guarantee it and the government can't.
If it's socially acceptable to steal something then no technology or law can enforce it. The idea of social DRM is to influence people socially to respect the copyright. Today when people don't respect the draconian DRM technology they are Robin Hood.
