OF course not. However, under such a system, if you didn't register the purchase, you would not be a legal owner of copyright, and therefore <not> have the legal right to copy, shift format, ect.
The setup I described is just a idea, trying to cover all perspectives. Given the money and power involved, I'd rather bet on Hillary Clinton as the next Pope over something like this happening!
