The only solution is...

... for the record industry to team up with Sony to create a new proprietary music format that incorporates an unbreakable DRM. Brand new music players must be purchased and it won't work with your regular headphones. You need to buy headphones that can decrypt it.
You can still play the file on your computer, but you need to buy new speakers that support the copy protection.
The great thing with this solution, is if the RIAA thinks that you are stealing music, they can reach into your player and disable it so it can no longer play music, legit or not, and you have to buy a new one.
If you use a non-Sony computer to play these files, they will still work, but they will lower the quality to 32kbps.

Every time you add a new song, you have to type in the "License Key", which is a 64 character code that will unlock the file for 30 days, then you can get a new code from Sony.com, once the 30 days are up, to renew it for 30 days more.

I feel that this is the only way to end piracy once and for all. You see, all the pirates will buy this device and would be too scared of disabling it forever to pirate music. Problem solved. (It might also help to make it very expensive $400-$500 to start with).

...Think this dim idea is too far fetched to me remotely feasible? Check out BluRay and HDCP. Its not too different from this.
I will never buy a BluRay or HD-DVD player for this very reason. I don't need to be told how and where I can use the content that I purchase. The only method that allows me to take my content to all of my portable devices is to download it from piratebay. Because the movie companies restrict it, period.
