Yes you have to know the tech you're working with, but that's not what he's talking about. The "guy who knows the technology" is someone who is knowledgeable about all kinds of technology and not just what's being worked with, which may or may not be useful depending on the problem.
A movie filmed of something moving at that speed will have a blur effect of its own. Both film and our eyes are effectively analog devices recording everything that happens between frames (which gets more complicated in our eyes which are asynchronous analog devices lacking distinct frames) Computer monitors, however, display a single instant for each frame and most cannot display enough frames per second for smooth movement at that speed without fudging it.
The main reason it seems fake is that while it looks good when you're looking where you're supposed to, if you try to track things with your eyes you end up seeing objects that are blurry when they should be clear and other things are clear when they should be blurry.
Your monitor can't actually render something moving at 300km/h so instead it blurs the object to give the appearance of it moving at 300km/h. If you had a high enough frame rate you could render it properly and let the blur effect happen inside the viewers' heads like it would if they were actually driving.
In fact, I doubt most of those shops even sell ebooks.
I think this is his point, people will often go to local stores to buy books, but they have to go to Amazon (or another online site) to buy their ebooks.
A machine deciding what you should or shouldn't know about isn't all that scary, a machine (or anything) being able to enforce that on the other hand...
The cost to him may be higher, but so is what he can afford. A year for him would probably have a smaller relative impact on his finances than it would on yours.

The article however is not using regular in this manner.
So are you trying to say that the article was suggesting that these events happen with predictable consistency?
It doesn't even have to be fast, it just has to be obvious and long enough for an inattentive guard will notice.
In fact, I doubt most of those shops even sell ebooks.

And someone had to buy the book/ebook in the first place to pirate it, the only difference is the number of people that read the copy.
Because the first is the starting airport, then any intermediate airports, then the destination airport.

It was a successful fake failed missile launch designed to convince the world that the missile is not yet functional.
Reminds me of when I was younger and my parents asked me to open the child proof caps for them...

The police are charged with dealing with criminal cases, civil cases have to be brought to the court by those wronged.
