I wonder if in the end what needs to change is copyright. I believe in copyright and I think people have the right to their creations, but the more I think about it the more it seems impossible to prevent online. Most companies are trying to force solutions on the problem that are relatively easy to get around and I can't help but think the ultimate solution is to change the way we enforce copyright or change something more fundamental in copyright itself.

During that time, it will be easy for anybody to take the movie and distribute it elsewhere.  Another thing to keep in mind is that under this system, Google will end up with a rather large library of copyrighted content. You know how they say that their goal is to index everything? Well, this new system will bring them one step closer to meeting that goal.
