The reason is because the biggest pirates out there (i'm just assuming, but I think my assumption is pretty correct) are well aware how to protect themselves my masking their IP, MAC addresses.
The thing is that this will only catch p2p folks and torrent users that pull from trapped sources
This will only hit end users and will not stop the creation of the materials to start with!

I don't see anything wrong here. I mean, you can blame it on the music industry's business model all you want, but clearly it's their loss. People will simply stop buying music in the same quantities if the model is so bad, and the industry will be forced to change in order to increase demand again. It's economics at work, but the illegal downloading places a distortion on the whole thing that allows the music industry to cast blame outward.
I see this as a good development - it enforces a law already on the books, and increases accountability for the business practices of an industry that will likely be forced to make some changes.
