It is actually fairly easy, just restandardize the Evil bit as the Illegal Bit.

All network transfers of illegal content must set the Illegal bit and all Belgian ISP's must drop packets with the Illegal bit set.

Problem solved.

I'd bet there are penalties if content is transferred though :( so, relying on the 'illegal content users/sharers' to 'do the right thing' isn't likely to get you where you want to be... :(
