Can I pirate a copy of your shirt?

This story makes me laugh.
Apparently, Apple wants to apple Digital Rights Management to tennis shoes. Seriously.
Wow. If I weren’t so afraid that they would actually find some deviously Draconian legal means to accomplish it, I’d be rolling on the floor. Fortunately, the technology for getting a pair of shoes to identify itself electronically (without just installing a second, easily removable RFID tag of some such nonsense) is pretty much not possible with modern technology.
And I don’t think even our government is preparred to endorse arresting people for wearing the “wrong” brand of shoes.
