for gameplay reasons, the original Cyberpunk 2020 had un-copyable programs & files. you couldn't just copy stuff from your own cyberdeck to your buddy's.
the game would've been a bit less *engaging* if you could. call it a cyber superpower.

the present-day gate-keeps are the mass distribution platforms that enforce the (quite broken) DMCA to cover their own arses.
you *think* you can copy any program or any file, but it gets ever more at mercy of devices' manufacturers.

"but mark", i hear you object, "how could a program or file not be simply copyable? un-copyable=impossibiru!"
there's been a attempts at making that so, often as "security" (ironic!). already a problem with appliances like phones or cars.
stay vigilant, frens. stay vigilant.
