| these arguments are made mute by the fact that we copy information just by seeing it. It is absolutely impossible to make an uncopiable cd/movie/et.al.. Let's say you encrypt the music on a cd, restricting it to play on one individual device - you can still copy the raw information to another cd, or change media by running the analog output through an adac, and as the analog content is still high quality the digital copy shall be just as good, maybe better after running it through a filter. Aside from this, was not copyright intended to allow ip author's to recupriate the cost of production, *not* to restrict self-redistribution among varying media? |
