Sort of off topic, but not really - Bruce Schneier's latest Cryptogram is 
out with info on Security Lessons from the Military and why Copy 
Protection doesn't work:
http://lwn.net/2001/0517/a/crypto-gram.php3

A great quote on copy protection:
Digital files cannot be made uncopyable, any more than water can be made 
not wet. 

And one on business models:
The industry's only solution is to accept the inevitable.  Unrestricted 
distribution is a natural law of digital content, and those who figure out 
how to leverage that natural law will make money.  
(The industry he refers to is RIAA/MPAA and friends)
