So why would I DL music and movies illegally but not shopflift? I believe that if your property can't be protected, it's free game. It's like having a house with no walls or fences in the bad part of town, and nobody is ever home. You know your CD collection is going to get ganked. Put up some frickin' walls and put a lock on the door already.
You're confusing "can't be protected" with "not protected." There's not much anybody can do to prevent the data on a DVD from being hacked. It's there, and while the distributors have taken steps to try to prevent unauthorized copying, it will never be unbeatable. But "they can't stop me from breaking that law anyway" isn't going to work very well as a legal defense in any case I can imagine.
