This is - unfortunately - spot on, and there is much worse to come.

It's funny how a law that actually confirms a right that is solidly anchored in the declaration of human rights would result in technological circumvention rather than - the expected outcome - compliance.

Yes. And yet, you've also described a general phenomenon, I think. (e.g. the discovery of loopholes in tax law.)

If necessity is the mother of invention, profitability is the mother of circumvention.

(Great blog post, btw.)
