There's no way of stopping theft, the best we can do is limit it. The problem with content theft is there's little to no punishment. Can you imagine how bad shop lifting would be if the only punishment was that the thief had to put the item back? That's pretty much how effective DMCA is. It's a ridiculous game and not only do the thieves steal our content, they also steal our time.
To limit content theft, many different controls have to be put in place including removing the profit for thieves, effective methods of DRM, ways to track the content to the person who uploaded it to a file sharing site, etc...
I wanted to stop offering downloadable content but it might be a little to late for that. Porn buyers are so use to joining sites that offer downloads that I think it would piss off a lot of members.
It's a complex problem that's going to require complex solutions.
