Recording a low-quality song from your speakers producers a lower quality copy than a digital rip from the original low-quality source. Fact.
Your argument about people making bootlegs out of recording speakers/screens is a moot point.

You said your app would not interfere with basic system operation, and disabling keyboard input as well as monitoring processor load as well as being able to shut it down based on it (which by the way implies your app would disable multi-tasking, and how many people watch movies while rendering video, answering email, chatting) so yeah, it'd be magic.

I have refuted your arguments with facts and real-word examples. You on the other hand have not backed any of your arguments with more than mere speculation and fantasy.
Why not simply build a time-machine and go back to 1980 and make porn then?
Oh wait, the technology that allows you to make, edit and distribute videos cheaply didn't exist then.
You'd have to spend big bucks on analog cameras, hire an editor, splice film, try to get a distribution deal, manufacture VHS tapes, etc etc.
So you see, the technology that allows people to produce and distribute porn easily and cheaply is the same technology that ass-fucked the business model. Oh sweet fuck how can you not smile at the irony of it? And then of course, cry about it
By the way, this is not limited to porn, digital technology has disturbed almost every single aspect of life. How many bank tellers have lost their jobs? Remember bike courriers? Newspapers are getting reamed because of it.
The issue is much bigger than simple file-sharing and thinking that consumer-oriented crippling technologies will solve it is delusional.
