You're missing something: read access is the same thing as copy access. This is why pirates won the war on media piracy, because if you can watch a movie or listen to an album you can record and redistribute it no matter what kind of DRM hoops you had to jump through beforehand.

Technology problems don't always have technological solutions and this is one of them. In the present context the easy + effective solution is regulation.
