This is a good point. There is resistance from both the "I can get it free on bittorrent, so why pay?" crowd, as well as the "I am the copyright holder, everyone should pay for every license" crowd. What I hope to achieve is a compromise that plays to the needs of both sides: to bittorrenters, this says "you are not pirating, you are playing a legitimate distribution role, pay and expect to be paid accordingly". To license owners, this says "accept that copying is not equal to stealing--treat your customers with the respect they deserve and there is a way you can be compensated for it, too." So I am agreeing with you that this "isn't the difficult problem", but you may be overlooking the potential for synergy (win/win "compromise") if only there were a technological middle ground available toward which the discussion might be shifted.
