Anybody who doesn't want their data copied will be shedding tears. Including anybody with private files.

You are more than welcome to decline to use DRM if you don't like it. Just don't expect people to give you copies of data they don't want shared by you.

FDE and things like OpenPGP are not broken by this.

Or to try and break it.

"Their" data? What a ludicrous concept. It's analogous to saying people own numbers.

I fully expect people to distribute "their" data far and wide to anybody who asks for it. That's what copyright is all about: giving people the illusion they're in control of what happens to that data.

The truth is only one copy of the data is needed. Once it's out there, there are no limits to what can be done with it.

Oh. In that case, where have you posted your bank credentials?

[matheusmoreira]

I haven't posted them. The fact that data is private means I'm currently the only one in possession of it. It doesn't mean it's mine. Should they leak, the solution is to invalidate those credentials and get new ones, not to invoke copyright and try to get all copies off the internet.
