Reasonable prices, a permissive marketing model, and open availability are the best defense against opportunistic copyright infringement, and you won't make money off that unless you're bundling all that together into a content distribution channel. C3: Without the DMCA, most of your favorite web sites and interconnected apps would not be able to exist. The DMCA is a blanket measure that says that as long as applications make a good faith effort to reasonably fight copyright infringement in their userbase, they can pass the buck. Thus, this clears the way for the content distribution industry to directly go after the people in violation instead of attacking the tools, which everyone use. That said, it's not a perfect compromise, but it has enabled us to do an awful lot. There isn’t much money in preventative security practices.
