The answer to both questions is that of course it won't work, if 100% of the time or at all, and it doesn't really matter either way, they just need it to appear to work to convince judges, justices and maybe even certain unnamed evil information cartels to let them stay in business for just a little while longer.
Seriously, they have no rational incentive to actually make it work all of the time or police it on any scale if people figure out how to hack it. Right now, Napster's sole priority is just to stay in business in the short term, and they are willing to use whatever half-assed excuse they can to do so.
