I would support copy protection if it worked.  The main issue is that 
there is always a way to bypass it.  So it only keeps honest people 
honest.  But also, I have never used a software license or a media copy 
protection that didn't interfere with use.  I remember buying a CD that 
would play in my PC, but between tracks would emit a loud squeal which 
didn't happen in a CD player.  Obviously this was part of the copy 
protection.

I also seem to recall that Sony had to recall a bunch of CDs or 
something similar because their copy protection was too draconian and 
would prevent valid users from accessing the media.

I guess the question is, how much money is lost on a Forth ebook not 
being copy protected?  I know for a lot of software, if it is not 
protected a lot of people end up using it that don't pay for it.  But 
very few of those users would pay if it were copy protected.  I don't 
know how to measure something like this.
