What's strange to me is there's still not a general technical solution to copyright and copy protection in that, ok, if the purpose is to make sure the creators of something get supported by the consumption of their creations, then why not have a system that makes it easy to pay for something post-consumption instead of before making a copy?
Among other things, if we had that for books and music it would partly ale iate the financial woes of people who are old and no longer producing new works and whose works are no longer in print because the Industry is that way, but whose work is still loved and gets passed around between friends or on the used markets, etc.
