However, should this convoluted and not so easy to implement copy protection
ever actually become more than a curiosity it too will be cracked just as
quickly as Blue-Ray was. You are trying to push a public transit bus up a 85
degree incline trying to copy protect anything. It is a waste of time. If
you don't want something copied then keep it to yourself, otherwise deal
with it.
