Re: Come on now... Sorry, but those are implausible edicts.
1. What happens when your hard drive crashes or you are upgrading to a new one? Then all of those mp3's you have made will have to be redone because you don't have the ability to back them up on a disk and reload them. If you have a large CD collection like I do you would NOT like that at all. It took me weeks to get all of my favorite songs in my CD collection onto my computer.
2. That sort of restriction is just plain unconstitutional. I am a musician. What about music that I create? If I don't have this watermark then I cannot share my music under this proposal. The only option is to GET the watermark, which I bet would cost money if they did that. Why do I have to pay to share my own creation?
While your proposition is technically possible (when the hardware is set with those kinds of restrictions) they are just as bad as anything else being proposed. The fact of the matter is you cannot restrict file sharing without restricting perfectly legal uses. I think the whole idea is a bad way to fix what the industry sees as a threat to their profits.
