I think it would require people having a reason why they should respect copyright. In the past copyright was a social quid pro quo, right now its being used as cudgel. Digital lockdowns, demands, shrink wrap licences, long terms, no more fair use if there's drm, drm in and of itself, massive statutory damages. The system is broken, unworthy of protection it the current form.
