Agreed... that would be impossible, and pointless to pursue. However, I'm not interested in creating DRM that makes everyone happy... I'm interested in a concept of DRM that the majority of buyers and sellers can live with. Something effectively practical.

What I envision would be a non-profit organization that would handle it, not a corporation. Only a non-profit could manage it without automatically becoming beholden to the demands of stockholders/special interests/rich interests. And it would have to have a national scope, in today's market.
