For the record, Karl, even though you felt it was poorly written, at a personal level I didn't walk away with the feeling that your point was anything other than a simple "no matter what we do, we're not going to keep the world from abusing copyrights, but there's plenty of things we can do, so lets do them."

My agreement with Aristotle's point, and from what I could tell (though obviously I can't speak for Aristotle) Aristotle's reasoning for the follow-up was to help clarify the direction and purpose of how this work should be viewed and where the focus should be placed.  But either way, I 100% agree with his statement (as do we all! :) and wonder if this should be clearly marked and noted in a centralized wiki somewhere (Creative Commons, W3C) as the primary focus of the work done is this area?  I would happily host one, but hosting a wiki isn't the problem.  Finding the right place to host it is.

Any suggestions?

Agreed. And it's why my message (which was really badly written -
fatigue) was separating the issue. It's a very important issue, and I
really believe a clear spec, framework or let's say technical
solution would improve the field. Definitely.

I would love to see that happening as soon as possible. It's a mix
between social and technical issues. Finding interoperable solutions
would help to soften the social issues and frustrations.

so again +1 a thousand of times ;)
