Numbers can and are used to represent anything and everything. This has implications far beyond DRM. For instance: I don't believe you have the right to use my photo to make a defamatory Facebook account in my name.

To paraphrase: > I don't believe that it is anyone's right to dictate how the knives I own are used. And yet the law still dictates you keep your knives away from my chest. Point being: your freedom of using your bits is dictated by the same laws that dictate your freedom of using knives.
