Not surprising, this is their world view.
But I don’t think they have the smarts to stay a jump ahead of the inevitable countermeasures. This will just make it easier for them to catch those who don’t know better.
Putting aside my views on copyright and violations thereof, it’s obvious that the RIAA/MPAA believe that political contributions should earn an astronomical rate of return (see also: unions).
Rather than research & fund DRM that truly works without hindering the end-user (if there is such a thing) they want government to enforce outdated laws and methods.

Correct. For example, if you download from the BT networks, a great number of uploaders mask the file by compressing it by winrar. The best ones I’ve seen were when bootleg sofrwares were uploaded, there were applications imbedded which calculate the correct code as part of the file.
Heck, mininova was shut down but Pirate Bay still operates comes down also to effective lawyers.
