What we will see very quickly are many ads for software that will strip the revocation list of the revocation side of the file and leave the activate side alone.  Or we will see the equivilent of the all channel satellite activation cards where you get the content files and pass them thru "GEEWHIZZZ" software and it activates your content files.  The content owners will jump up and down, generally act like 5 year olds, and miss the point.

  I don't copy the video tapes I rent.  I either like it enough to buy it or I don't want it anyway.  The price of the video is low enough that it just isn't worth the time and trouble to copy it.  When they were $150.00 each then it was worth the time and effort if I liked the film.  The investment in a second VCR just to copy quickly paid for itself.  When they released DVDs the price was kept low enough that it was never worth the expense to build a copy setup.  Even now with the cost of a DVD burner down to $150.00 it is still not worth the investment just to copy pre-recorded movies.  

  The movie industry is crying the woeful tale of going broke due to these evil people copying their creations.  Given the industry's "creative" approach to accounting, I question their figures to begin with.  They are entitled to make money from their efforts.   If the results are very good they are entitled to make lots of money.  What they are not entitled to do is cause me hassles because they "FEEL" that they are entitled to even more money.  

  If you look at all the figures they are offering to show how much money they are loosing most of these are based on "... it is estimated..." and "... it is believed...".  Translation:  "We FEEL shafted.  We can't prove it but we FEEL it."  What they may do instead of cutting down on retail copying is to generate a whole new generation of "copy swappers"  like the groups that appeared when movie videos were either non-existant (eg. Disney films) or $150 a pop.
