> bits are the cheapest commodity on the planet.

People who put bits in an order worth caring about are not. Protecting the bits is not the point. It's protecting the people who turn them into something meaningful.

> Find a way to create value that isn't inherently rooted in the order of your bits.

Sounds like a plan. Let's just abandon all efforts to create value out of information and ideas, and assume that the quality of creations will continue to be the same, even when people cannot spend their full time on them, and others will no longer invest in them. This sounds like a much better idea than making whatever effort we can to protect creators and discourage people from taking what they're not entitled to.
