A better way would be to start excluding MPA and their behaviour in our open source licenses.

This is a remarkably good idea. Add an explicit clause to major open source project licenses that disallow use by the MPAA and similar groups, along with enough explicit damages spelled out to give it teeth.

Then those licenses would no longer be open source licenses.
