But the real question is: what can I do? What can *we* do?

Do about which part? Paying the fine only emboldens the ??aa companies. If you're referring to the larger issue of content regulation then the answer is to quit being a consumer (legal or not) of content regulated by the objectionable companies. If folks were to buy from artists (indies or whatever) who themselves object to these kinds of tactics the number of artists who work outside of the ??aa's would increase and eventually maybe the ??aa's would just go away just from uselessness. If everybody continues to consume their content there continues to be reason for them to protect their assets.
