What are some of the main things file-sharing apps can do to protect users and fight back?

I think you already made one good suggestion:

If there was a p2p app that clogged the RIAA's web site, when your not searching for files/downloading I would use it. Since the RIAA had the audacity to suggest making it possible to flood users trading files, I am sure a file share app of that sort isn't to far off.

For example, a million Kazaa clients using their idle bandwidth to bombard the websites and servers of the RIAA and other p2p-hostile companies might already have an effect....

Yes, and also better protected networks where non-contributing outsiders would have minimal access and visibility to the shared content and users.
