Because if you support copying within the system, you can control it much
more tightly. If there is no copying allowed (like DVDs), then somebody
writes a program that breaks it and copies end up everywhere. In addition,
with copying built in, anybody that does write such a program to do more
than what is built in has a lot harder time arguing that their software is
for "fair use", if such uses are already built in.
