I'm not saying it's unnecessary but forcing me to run DRM, HDCP, kernel level malware, and abide by arbitrary EULAs/copyrights is beyond the scope of the machine. My machine understands memory manipulations, not someone's-protected-memory non-manipulations. It is incorrect to burden our computer science with such trivia.

It's just that a marketplace based on at least theoretically selling unique copies of artwork can't really exist in this particular manner. Who made a given piece of art, and who has the right to sell it isn't an engineering issue, and makes no sense whatsoever to do in a decentralized manner.
