If however you say "making a copy of this DVD for your own use (eg in case of
damage) is OK but it is wrong to give it away or sell it. Please don't do that."

Then you are actually treating the consumer as a reasonable person.

No, you're attacking their civic spirit and the nature of friendship,
and that's not cool. No one self-respecting is going to agree to
betray their friends and neighbours like that.

For *THE VAST MAJORITY OF LAW ABIDING PEOPLE*, which is more likely to work?

Neither. Talk to teenagers - file sharing is here to stay.

By saying "law abiding," you're invoking the law as an authority on
ethics, which is ill-conceived. The law is, at best, at attempt to
achieve justice. Often, if doesn't: law abiding people moved to the
back of the bus.
