I think this is not enough. The only solution is an FFmpeg SWAT team, that 
constatntly monitors the lists, finds any offenders, and physically 
eliminates them. There really is no other solution to a problem of such 
proprortions (remember, we are talking about AT LEAST 1 occurence every week 
here). 

I think this can be financed from the donations to ffmpeg.
