Actually, it's pretty easy to determine if someone is pirating or not. All you have to do is obtain a copy of the item in question from the person.

Hmm.

Furthermore, Fair-Use doesn't cover your completely. It only covers the production of a single backup copy. Now this doesn't mean if you misplace your first copy and make a replacement that is also piracy, it becomes piracy when you share it, sell it, or give it away to someone else.

One of these is not like the other!
Seriously. I have a copy of Starcraft in my possesion, but no original CD. Slam-dunk piracy? Bzzt. Try again. The copy was made and the original was later stolen..

Gryon, please calm yourself before posting. You're overreacting by screaming about how browsers also commit piracy, next thing we'll know you'll be claming I want to outlaw pens because they can be used to copy notes with.

You did not specify "illegal" in your post. Under this quote from your first post:
" Levy taxes against companies that manufacture recordable media software, hardware, and media. Individuals that make the software can be made liable for infringment suits if their software is involved in piracy"
ANYTHING could be made liable for piracy.

My suggestions may sound extreme, but I'm sure most people realize that while some, like the ports on unfeasable, most aren't nearly as severe as they sound or you portray them to be. So again, I urge you to step away from the computer, go outside and spend some time and calm down.

Actually yes that are. Side note: The "calm down and go away" angle is really trite technique, especially when there's been next to no flaming going on at all.
I'd debate a bit more but you seem to be changing your story; your initial list would do many of the things that you said it wouldn't (making IP addresses illegal, making software makers liable, etc).
