This doesn't mean biometric DRM will
never, ever happen... just that it hasn't been perfected yet (much like e-book DRM).

My statement does not "assume that customers are criminals." It merely states the realities of the product market. How many stores do you know of that have no locks or security? How many online stores do you know of that allow you to buy with a credit card, and don't ask for your ID info? Why do you think that is?
Criminals are criminals... customers accept the notion that they have to pay for products, and the security is there to foil the criminals.

That's nice. Unfortunately, there are a few people here and there in the world that cannot make the same claim.
