Heh. When I said painful, I meant
painful. As in
surveillance. As in, you can't imagine the stuff that'll be forced onto everyone's computers (most of which you won't even be aware of) to keep people from doing it through the analog hole. If we lose copyright, that's what businesses will demand, to safeguard their property. Because they already know they can't appeal to our sense of fairness...
