Throw the law out for a minute. Why? Because nobody cares about them. You are making an argument that only people who have some slavish devotion to the law will even care about. The rest of the world will go "Pfft, whatever" either explicitly or implicitly.
As was mentioned up thread, it's kind of like absurdly low speed limits. You can buy all the politicos you want, you can make all the crazy laws you want, but the absolute fact of the matter is you cannot make people at large follow laws they feel to be arbitrary and unfair.
The fact of the matter is this: People will pirate things, and there is fuck all you can do about it. You can try to make moral arguments, legal arguments, ethical arguments - that really changes nothing. Piracy is here to stay.
