Among the politically correct, the term 'crippled' is deprecated. One of the accepted replacement terms is 'physically challenged'. I therefore propose the term 'copy challenged' for the new shiny discs resembling compact discs.
This term also correctly indicates that copies are not protected, nor are they even prevented. Copying them is simply more challenging than copying actual compact discs.
Fortunately for Microsoft, the Gopher implementation in IE was inextricably integrated with Windows. I guess only the HTTP part of IE can not be removed without breaking the whole operating system.
