That's proven not to work. Those that inflict such crap on the world simply see that as meaning they need stickier, smellier sh*t.

Eg, the CSS on DVDs was shown to be futile, so they* enacted laws to make it illegal to circumvent it. In addition, they did the CSS for BlueRay, which again has been shown not to be effective against other than against law abiding people who weren't going to redistribute unprotected videos anyway.


* "They" being the big content industry via their puppets in the US legislature, and the UK government saw that it was good** and followed suit.

** One can't help but wonder if for the same reasons !
