Seems that copyright holders, especially of digital media, have taken the stance that everyone is guilty (of copyright violation) until proven innocent. Nice. Way to run rough-shod all over people's rights. So, the anwer to your question of what we can do is actually very easy. Vote with your wallet. Just say no. This is a free market economy - at least in the US and most of the western world. The consumer should create the market with demand for product, not the other way 'round. So, demand better, aka DRM-Free, product. The problem will solve itself. No demand - no product. Problem is, getting enough consumers to "just say no" to have an impact on the supplier is like herding cats. Meantime, I'm on my way to the bookstore to buy a good 'ol paperback. At least (for now), I know that the printed words in it aren't DRM'ed to only be viewable by MY eyes.
