I’m probably being simplistic, but is there no way to identify files with DRM without actually opening each and every file? If it can be done, couldn’t a simple webcrawler find files without DRM, compare hits to a database of books that should have it, and send an automated takedown notice to the host site? If a site refuses the takedown then start legal action.
Something like this would only work in some jurisdictions though, leaving the larger problem to international relations, which is a government responsibility.
