<snip> Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to market MP3's and DVDs like shareware? They could simply require the users of the MP3's and DVDs to go online and pay for a registration code that would unlock the software. That generally works for protecting registered versions of shareware. The same or similar type of scheme should work for protecting the copyrights of musicians and movie producers.
