This technology, usually called "Digital Rights Management"
(DRM) proposes to make your computer worse at copying some
of the files on its hard-drive or on other media. Since all computer
operations involve copying, this is a daunting task—as
security expert Bruce Schneier has said, "Making bits harder
to copy is like making water that's less wet."
something to cite when it comes to IP law (and the conventions/hegemonic ideology that it engenders/builds) being the only thing underpinning this shit
