That's the kind of stuff that lends itself to an abandoned OS.

What are the controls like? I really have an awkward time playing anything that emulates a joystick and keys on the iPhone.

I think most of the music (and movies) people share illegally is ripped from physical media. As long as they sell CD's I can't see how your branding idea would help this.
Another way of making illegal file sharing go away is to legalize it, then we would only have file sharing. The phenomenon being illegal has very little consequence I'm afraid. Most people do it, like speeding and I can't say I'm very bothered by this kind of criminality.

Seriously though, it can be mastered. There are tradeoffs. It depends on one's religion/bias and hownthey usually deal with new stuffs. Fast learners should be ok.

It's a 'dual analog' config that centers wherever you initially place your thumbs.
My experience w/ iphone controls:
0-2 minutes: "WTF is this ****?!?! gimme my physical!keys!!"
2-5 minutes: "Hmm.. interesting (mechanics/gfx/content/whateva). The control isn't as bad as i thought"
5-15 minutes: "WTF is this ****?!?! i want my keys back!!!"
15-30 minutes: "Ok, it's not so bad. I can see the gradual progression of control mastery"
30-60 minutes: "WTF is th....

But stories like this make even my "freedom from DRM" speeches a bit less loud and angry because that small-time dude that got screwed could have been me. Or you. Or somebody we know.
But if DRM is there, only tapped when it's needed; I can live with that. As long as I can bring along my own music, eBooks, comic books (cbrs) and whatnot, I'll be happy. And if the corresponding market has an app, eBook, or song that I want, then let me enjoy it too on the device and anything else I might connect to that device... without being in my way.
The fight against DRM should be real specific. Blindly stating that you don't want it, then you should bring an option that won't hurt me as hobbyist or professional and allows for companies that want a professional manner to protect their software. Nobody wants a repeat of Angry Birds where it was bought once, shared many...
