This article about Big Content suing 321 Studios pretty well proves to me that all the talk about needing copy protection is really about controlling the consumer and not about piracy.� The studios are asking a judge to stop the firm from selling or distributing�its software because it violates the DMCA.� But copies made with the latest version of their software include watermarks that identify the original owner so that any versions making their way onto the Internet or the black market can be traced. The software also does not allow copies to be made from copies. That pretty much covers allowing fair use without providing a tool to trade content; and it provides a mechanism to trace back to the “pirate” that posts content on the internet.
