Just wondering.
Unless Eve blueprints are not really blueprints in the conventional sense, but modules like a flash drive containing the blueprint info.
I think i just answered my own question.

The DRM is pretty much the explanation though I have no idea wth the person above is babbling about.
Anything transmitted digitally can be intercepted, particularly over open data networks. Encryption can only get you so far and with enough computing power any encryption can be broken.
So if you were a producer of Blue Prints would you really want that data transfered where any hacker could get too it?
Requiring all blueprints to reside on physical media helps to maintain their value. If they were transmitted across public datasphere's they would have long since been pirated. And with all the various power blocks and empires and pirates in New Eden there would be no way to enforce intellectual property rights.
That would be what I imagine is the RP rational.
The truth IMO is simply that if you didn't have to physically move them then no one could gank you for them. ;-)

because who still uses faxes? and in the future they don't use mouses, no right click, and no copy/paste. or, more realistically, because CCP said so.

Thinking about having an ability to intercept communications gives me a strange tingling sensation .

Only if you qualify your statement and exclude one-time-pads.

what I want to know is why it takes so long to copy 1 blueprint
did they never re-invent copypasta?

Wrong, you "used" to be able to EVE-mail bookmarks, effectively FAXing them.
CCP also removed the ATM function. You used to be able to withdraw ISK from your account to ISK in your hangar and then transfer (trade) that to someone else.
It was cool though, back in the days, when you could say that there was real ISK in a container in space ....
(Yes, you could drag ISK piles to your wallet)
OR did you think that the "ATM Withdrawal" in the (EVE API)
<row refTypeID="4" refTypeName="ATM Withdraw" /> <row refTypeID="5" refTypeName="ATM Deposit" />
Were just figments of CCP's imagination ?

I think i just answered my own question.
I always thought of them as a preprogrammed nanite base.
An original contains a sort of foreman nanite (DRM infested of course) that contains all the assembly instructions for components and instructions for assembling a host of preprogrammed worker nanites that assemble the more essential components around themselves becoming a fully integrated part of the component.
A copy contains just the preprogrammed worker nanites.
This is why copying blueprints requires more than just a photocopier and why you can't just email blueprints around the place.
It is also why invention takes time, and why it is not always successful. You have to reprogram the worker nanites being careful not to interfere too much with the various safeguards that prevent them from going killer grey ooze or just self destructing as you try to make them follow instructions that are otherwise hardcoded.
Well.. that's my thought on the matter anyways.

DRM? In my blueprints?!
I think we can blame the [strikethrough] RIAA [/strikethrough] DED for this.

And do you think this is the appropriate place for this thread? I'm not sure, but I don't think blueprints are modules.
I'll give you a hint though! There's already a forum that deals with issues like this...can you guess which one it is? ---

Actually, in EVE universe, we have quantum communications, but the relay network is monitored by CRC (Ohai, mods!). The Big Brother is watching you cyber.
And yea, it's DRM. Hence why copies have licensed production runs.
