This very effect is why the RIAA and MPAA and copyright lawyers and software designers who get mad at users don't get it.
People will find a way around roadblocks and potholes. And once they are around it, and developer a routine, those detours become "the way". Fighting against it is like holding back a flooding river. Or the oft-referenced herd of cats. I don't know that I agree with all of this article, but it reminds me that what _I_ want as a system designer might be at odds with what my customers want. And to hold back that user desire is going to take a lot or work on my part, and I need to measure effort and pain against why I want that control. USERS! Thanks for that article.
