That stopping people from sharing requires total surveillance is a
good and strong argument, but it should not be our main argument.

Even if it were possible to completely prevent people from sharing
without surveillance, through some kind of DRM system, it would be
wrong to do so.  Not wrong because of secondary consequences, but
wrong because the goal is wrong.  Sharing is good!
