On the other hand, how would you prevent people from making copies? It's nice
that there is a copright law and other related laws, but how does a government
enforce those laws on the Internet? Not only is it very easy to copy digital
information, it is also a problem to enforce laws on the entire Internet.
Remember, the Internet is not a US net, it's world-wide... (so many countries,
so many different laws, so many differences in the enforcement...)
