It is quite possible to code single or multiple use copy-restricted files which is essentially implemented on mac/Apple systems. It also can be done in Windows. While it is not actually done, it is possible. IMO, some software aka iTunes constantly tries to do this, at least on my son's laptop. Which means that what you cite here as a feature is actually some not implemented but possible to implement mechanism similar to a lock on the box which is now unlocked just because there are no hinges. Well, those hinges can be placed at any time and there is nothing wrong with do it IMO. I do it all the time at work so students cannot copy/read what they are not supposed to.
