I found the article "A Taxonomy of Methods for Software Piracy
Prevention" quite informative, as it was an easy to understand comprehensive summary of piracy prevention techniques. However, I believe that in order to get the most out of them, a combination of all three should be implemented.
Also, from an ethical perspective, one should wonder why it is that some people choose to engage in piracy while others don't. And also, when targeting filesharing programs, should there be a differentiation in the "punishment" of those that share files and those that just download?
Then again, from a purely economic point of view, perhaps if itunes didn't cost the exorbitant 1$/song perhaps the amount of P2P network activity would decrease.

A really good, well researched article discussing a middle ground between DRM or not DRM. It basically puts forth a new business model that protects intellectual property while enabling a fair use policy that most people can agree with. It's a business model that is sustainable, but probably needs some tweaking.
