"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

What's your take on digital anti-piracy coalitions? (lemmygrad.ml)

These are the coalitions that shuts down pirate websites and fining businesses that doesn't have a license to broadcast their media that mostly cost in higher prices. The main examples of these are Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), BREIN, Kakao P.CoK and even the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As a socialist, how we can win against them? My idea is to make a lot of copylefted media that are licensed under CC licensed or MIT/Apache/GPL for software so we can weaken them.

That's great, and I'm glad you use Creative Commons, though I do wonder why you only require attribution and not Share Alike and NonCommercial. Similarly, the MIT license is too permissive, only the GPLv3 is sufficiently copyleft to prevent corporate tomfoolery.

But these organizations you're talking about in your original post don't just go around protecting all copyrights, they go around protecting the copyrights of their corporate members who fund them. And those corporate members are in turn funded by sales of their media. So when you don't pirate corporate media, you are in fact funding these copyright attack dog organizations.
