The problem is that piracy isn't a technology problem, it's a people problem. "Pirate" technology doesn't exist. Somewhere, somehow, you need to show information. At that point, anything you've used to convey that information can also make a copy of that information or allow access to someone who shouldn't have it. Piracy is people using legitimate means to perform actions in a manner deemed unacceptable.

> anything you've used to convey that information can also make a copy of that information That's true of a general purpose computing device, but sadly those are becoming rarer and rarer, at least as a percentage of all devices. (I suppose in some technical sense the device conveying the information is necessarily making a copy of the information at least temporarily, but there is no need for that copy to be persistent or retrievable at the request of the user.)
