This is a friend-of-a-friend story, but I have met the principals. There
are people who will buy a video camera, use it to record a birthday or
other event, then return it to the store claiming it was too complex
for them to figure out (or some other excuse). I would say they get more
use out of the resulting tape than someone who's got the latest version
of all the hot applications neatly filed away on floppies.

Nobody copy-protects video cameras.

The solution is to convince people that piracy is equally slimey.
