And how ridiculous is that for a start? Once it's on my hard drive, or I hold it in my hands, there's no stopping what I can do as long as it's for private consumption. They can invent as many laws as they want, they can wrap all culture up in DRM, but in the end, alone, without them standing over me, the law is meaningless.
