Any measure you put in place can/will be ignored by the actors who never planned to respect your wishes in the first place.

That's just how the web works, though.

This is true for measures that require the actor to respect your wishes, but doesn't apply to measures that force them to.

		This is just like security; the most secure system is the one that nobody can use. I think the proof-of-work approach that anubis[0] takes is pretty interesting. I love the idea of having to do a small amount of work for the author of the content in order to get access to their content. It would be interesting to a scheme where the proof-of-work that clients do in systems like anubis actually had a way to directly benefit the author. [0]: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis
