The thing about #1 and #2 is that you can't do them with complete accuracy. There will always be people who can work around any anti-piracy or anti-copying system. None of them will be foolproof, or ever will be. Developers can put a series of things in place to reduce the number of times that it occurs, but you can never get anywhere near 100% (or even 90%) effectiveness. Having multiple layered blocking methods will help, though.

It is ridiculously easy to bypass country indicators, and there are a number of ways to do it. When it comes to VPNs and the like, you will find that there are a ton of them out there. Identifying each of them would be a huge ongoing task.

Luckily, judging from your last post it sounds like you are starting to realize that you need to find a "best possible solution" to the project than a 100% effective solution. So, moving forward...

What do you consider a "reasonable" rate? Keep in mind that individual contractors often have gaps between jobs, and have to adjust their charges accordingly. If it takes someone a week to do a job, then he is going to have to charge 1/4 of what he needs to make monthly PLUS some amount (possibly even 100% extra) to help him get through the days when he doesn't have a job. That's a big part of the reason that it's so expensive to hire individual contractors. The work you are describing is going to be in the thousands of dollars, not the hundreds.
