While I can appreciate Wilson's intent to find a way to solve the piracy problem without getting Washington involved, I just don't see the proposal mentioned in the article (or something similar) being very effective. There's simply too many variables involved. First, who determines the "independent" commission which establishes which sites are placed in the blacklist? How can we prevent the RIAA/MPAA from stacking/influencing this commission? What will be the criteria used to determine which sites get placed on the blacklist? Second, and this is purely anecdotal, I just don't see a pop-up / warning acting as an effective deterrent to piracy. If I'm about to download a new movie, I doubt a pop up asking me to go somewhere else to pay for it legally will do much to sway my decision.
