Personally, I don't think it can be done. The only sucessful laws are the one that are, in essence, self-enforcing. Digital information is simply not capable of being forced into a scarcity model. It won't ever be self-enforcing. In the long haul, DRM is about as effective as King Canute ordering back the tide.

However, if you want an attempt....

1. Restrict ownership of copyright to the original human creator(s). The creator can only sell a license to anybody else. And yes, this strips ownership from all corporations.

2. Limit copyright to life of the creator. Period. He who creates gets rewarded, he who doesn't create, doesn't.

3. Explain the creator is the one who is getting stolen from, under the new methodology.

Don;t worry, this will never happen.
