Of course you can calculate the MD5 checksum for every file, but you seem to miss the bigger picture. Taking the Linux kernel as an example:
1. You check on ftp://ftp.kernel.org/ the MD5 checksum of the kernel you want to download.
If this system came into wide usage, the RIAA would start suing the life out of whatever web sites were hosting the lists of checksums.
Don't underestimate what a lot of money and a roomfull of lawyers are capable of.
