The very fabric of nature is changing for humans. Data can be replicated worldwide in seconds. The problem of intellectual property getting copied is not solved by hindering or putting barriers to copying. The solution is to change the business model.
Make it so that the copying is free and anyone can do it, but If I earn money from said copying, then a reasonable tiny fraction of my profits go to the entity that did most of the work in making my profits possible. All surrounded by a heaping helping of due process. Note that my proposal isn't necessarily the best one, but it doesn't attempt to enforce the impossible.
