It is just that you can not have a video for watching it, and not having the video for distributing it. Computers don't work that way, you either have the video or don't.

That said, things are more insidious than what is on the above paragraph. It's computers that don't work that way, so the solution that many people thought about was making computers illegal, and replacing them with closed controlled machines that resemble them in many ways but aren't as powerful.
