This reminds me of the vegetative idea of putting up a great wall 
between us and Mexico to prevent illegal immigtration.  CA is 
over-populated.  Californians have lots of babies.  Those babies have to 
go somewhere.  As long as there is habitable territory within traveling 
distance of CA, Californians will emmigrate.  And they'll hurdle _any_ 
obstacle you might put in their way.

To go back to Keith's original purpose, the same is true for legal 
walls.  I'm more of a libertarian than Keith is, I suspect.  I say let 
the entertainment industry (and legislators) push any law they want. 
It's not a law until it's tested in court.  And even then, there will 
always be script kiddies and disenfranchised moorlocks to scale any such 
walls.
