And that's the whole issue-- the easier it is to copy something, the harder it is to stop people from copying it. And copying digital media is very, very, very easy, so stopping it would be very, very, very hard-- and require very intrusive, restrictive, draconian, heavy-handed methods that would be not only a pain in the ass for potential consumers but also require an Orwellian "police state" nightmare for the enforcement.

Yes-- everyone who cares about future freedom and NOT being ruled by a big brother surveillance state should conciser people who think like Steve Jordan to be their enemies, and to be fought against at every opportunity. (See the Electronic Frontier Foundation.)
