Sure, but perfection's not attainable, and my point is just that it's one
of those things people only notice when it fails, and when it's attached
to DRM and content protection, users basically think the technology is
evil. Just an observation. Security is never something users really want
when the content isn't theirs (e.g., their bank is an exception).

Who's saying that? The point is that it *isn't* a point of contention for
reasonable people.

It isn't that difficult. That's the point.
