I wouldn't worry about either. I don't see how enforcement of
copyright will be possible under crypto-anarchy any more than
taxation will be. If one person pays for a posting, what's to keep
him from sharing it anonymously with whomever he wants? Is there any
way that crypto-anarcy won't bring the death of "intellectual
property"?
