Next time you see someone do that give them a good smack in the head on behalf of all the customers. Unless they are competent with encryption they should not even be using laptops for work.
Why does every discussion of IP have to include someone pretending to not see the difference between a product with unlimited supply (data), and a product with a supply of one (the GP's house)? You know it's not the same thing, so why the silly act?
Instead, how about you explain how giving data artificial value through copyright is A Good Thing, and stop with this silly argument already?
People with weak arguments are desperate to grab anything, no matter how flawed.
