The playkey, unlike the title folder, can't be copied—but it can be moved.

Every time I read that, it gets more funny. Maybe they mean it can't be *used* when it's copied. (You can copy Kindle Topaz books onto a Sony Reader. Can't read them there, but you can copy them.) I think it's hilarious when tech orgs fail at basic computer terminology. Especially if they're doing it deliberately to appease corporate sponsors, and hoping that other techies won't bring it up.
(I'm not much of a computer geek. However, "can move but can't copy" hurts my head. If that's
true, then they need to explain how the transfer is 100% safe--what happens if there's a power hiccup during the file movement?)

The entire system is predicated on the fear of loss; share with people you don't know, and at some point your playkey will probably be moved to someone else's control.

And publishers & media corps won't object at all to online "playkey share groups" that collect hundreds of playkeys into a digital library, which anyone *could* grab & keep, but most people don't. Authors won't mind reading groups springing up on Twitter, saying "who's next for this playkey?"
And of course, none of them will mind resale of playkeys on Craigslist & ebay.
