Just had an interesting thought.
Scanners, photocopiers and printers already (so I understand) refuse to scan/copy/print images containing the eurion constellation.
If DRM'd images were displayed with a similar type of watermarking, which digital cameras could detect, then that could close off taking photos. (Screenshots themselves won't be possible with the DRM operating system in control - the DRM'd content won't display on screen with an app capable of taking a screenshot).
OK, so you could get away with film (you might need to do your own processing), but good luck digitising it. I guess you might be able to retype any text, though.
Given how quietly the eurion constellation was deployed, I wonder when we'd know if a similar blocking pattern is interpreted by digital cameras?
