The episode is "The Mind's Eye".
But I think the Star Trek writers just didn't understand computers very well. In the future, making duplicate copies of data seems to be impossible. When you copy a file from one device to another, or one ship to another, or transmit it to a planet, it seems to disappear from the source.
This is a particularly common weirdness in Voyager, where duplicating holographic programs is apparently impossible. You can only move them.

- prox 4y agoThanks for sharing the name of the episode. Something to watch today. Maybe they figured out blockchain unique data structures that can’t be copied ;)
