Please excuse my cynical response, but why don't they just ban all software that can be used to create anything, all cameras, all microphones. How about pencils, paper, paint and brushes too? Everything you can conceivably use to (re)produce any media whatsoever? Heck, just ban eyes and ears too. That'll solve the problem. Once nobody can record or play back anything, media will be safe. There was once this fable about the goose that laid golden eggs... but if I tell it somebody will undoubtedly sue me for copyright infringement.

Agreed. As somebody with a "pre-existing" condition, I see no reason to give the insurance company - or any other person or entity, for that matter - more ammunition to use against me. I've already got enough hurdles to jump over. I know that my condition has been used against me on a couple occasions (but I can't prove it). Not interested in any DNA test, thanks. As for laws against using such personal information in a negative or discriminatory way, the only law followed by many is "don't get caught."
