Artists who produce digital works are all honey, no sting. They have no ability whatsoever to protect their work from redistribution. It's a fight they'll never win.

Copyright laws were always meant to protect the cartels: Hollywood, the music industry, etc. i.e. those with the physical power needed to fuck over anyone who opposed them.

And the laws are used as a carrot to lead the artist masses to attack the cartels' enemies and carry a false sense of security.
