I don`t see how economy can be managed by threats. Or I do, but it doesn`t sound very capitalistic to me.;)
That is - capitalism creates and promotes desires, and then sells you that which you yearn.
If by chance you can get it for free, because the item grows wings and flies out of the store, it doesn`t seem like much of an invention of a wheel to go around with a gun shooting the item down, or arresting to whom it flies into a window;).
I am exagerating on purpose, but think, once upon a time the only people who made money from music were those who wrote it, sang it or maybe organized concerts or printed the notes. Then someone came along and registered it to tape or whatever, and then the radio and record companies had to figure out ways of making money out of that.
Go figure if people who had organized concerts banned tapes. And there`s always going to be some leak in usage. That is some of your content is going to leak out. The invention of the wheel will be coming up with ways of making money on this that go beyond forcing you to buy the product else you go to jail, and will face the fact that the cards had been shuffled.
And it also teaches the kids that control via technology is the way to go to solve problems, so they grow up good and ready for an orwelian society of tomorrow.

Back to the drawing board.
