buy a lab report
Umm.. maybe.  The issue raised by 
Didier about trans/including improper 
fragments (eg, content sans ad) is 
a fairly old problem.  The *content* 
has to assert rights with regards 
to reuse.  That a topic map can 
point to a bit of content and include 
a traversal rule might enable better 
navigation, but the assertion of 
right to copy still should be a locally 
set policy which the implementor of 
the trans/including system must respect 
by law.  Policy before code; always.

Just because it can be built doesn't 
mean it is legal to use.  Note the 
cases with cable descramblers.

Isn't this precisely where topic maps come in?
