Technology like this operates under the assumption that ALL users are criminals until proven innocent and blatantly violates the 4th amendment(in the U.S. at least).

Sorry to be harsh. I did the same thing. But after reading the electronic versions, I understood what all the fuss was about and went and got a paperback version so I could enjoy the writing and admire the artwork without sitting in front of a computer, and also so Moore and Gibbons received whatever royalties they still get from the sales of their original work. They deserve it.
To be clear, you're saying people should only pay to read a book, see a movie, etc, if they end up liking it?
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
