I think the point Scott is making is you can protect yourself from someone else copying (I'm not sure Personal Directory is needed here for that) but how do you protect yourself from yourself. I see Personal directory being used in roaming type applications versus as a private security manager.

I think what the Record Industry wants is something like a Personal Jukebox. You purchase the Jukebox from them. You keep going to them to fill your selections in the Jukebox but they hold the key to the lock on your Jukebox. They don't want you to have the key ever because they don't trust you to reach in with your grubby little hands and give away music for free. Seems kinda of unrealistic but hey whatever.
