Preventing copying of electronic media of any type requires
  1. Be in some place like China or North Korea.
  2. Seal your borders.
  3. Seize and destroy every computer.
  4. Cut off all electricity.
  5. Shoot everyone who really understands computers in the head, then bury them in a mass grave.

Short of that, you are digitally masturbating.
You may get satisfaction out of your activity - but you aren't really accomplishing anything permanent or worthwhile.

IMNSHO.
