The problem that patents are supposed to fix.
How does one secretly distribute movies, books, or music?

The need to keep things secret will fund more privacy measures.

If you were in charge of making sure a new movie earned enough money to cover it's production budget in a post-IP world, what privacy measures would you be considering using?
Are there measures that aren't quite useful enough today, but might be in the future if more money was spent on them?

First thing that comes to mind for movies would be single use only.
No rewinding, pausing or copying, self destructs after one viewing.

Interesting, I guess you could disable the screen recording feature on any laptops that are playing it kind of like how Kindle's web viewer doesn't let you copy/paste text.
Doesn't stop someone from using a separate device to record the movie like how people used to bring camcorders into movie theaters, but it's a start.

I just saw another post that gave me an analogy for this.
The cigarette method of media distribution.
You light it and you smoke it.
Or just let it burn.
Either way it's gone forever a few minutes after lighting it.
