Consequently, it should be understood that bytes can't be stopped from being copied. I wish it wasn't just a point of view.

What we're seeing with copyright is governments trying to prevent bits from being copied, which is a pharaonic task and a waste of resources.

Well said, it's definitely something that needs to be discussed. That however is separate from distributing simple numbers, which do not ever construct a work, in my opinion.
