Question please!!!

How does encrypting a code into a particular ``transmission'' make it
different from having a "code" incorporated into a specific print??

Question please, again!!!

Statement 1:-

	  Producer of a film is encouraging and actively facilitating
	  making and selling of unauthorised copies of his own films.


Statement 2:-

	  Unauthorised copies of films is eating into profits of film
	  industry.


It is just me, or somebody else too notice a contradiction here? 

No, I am in no way condoning the activities of the D Company.
