The real problem I see is that there just aren't very many good options right now.
The legal system is set up in such a way that it's prohibitively expensive for the little guy, and most of the alternatives either make a mockery of due process (at best) or turn into something that to an outside lay observer seems almost indistinguishable from extortion.
That's a huge problem with IP enforcement right now: the combination of patent trolls and entertainment industry lawsuits demanding massive damages for what many people see as relatively minor infringements have given IP protection and enforcement a bad name.
It's a mess, and I don't see any way to clean it up any time soon.
