That's certainly possible, but since we can't prevent that from happening then what's delivered to clients is largely irrelevant to that issue. Plus if you deliver HD video at less than optimal quality, wouldn't that compromise the impression people get of your company more than the obscure risk of someone botching duplication or editing of the video in the future? Is it likely someone would re-edit a wedding video and leave the original production company name on the new version?
I can see both sides of this issue, but in the end I suspect most of us will deliver HD wedding videos in the format which is most convenient and desirable for both us and our clients. In some cases that will be full-quality HDV on blue-laser discs, and in other cases it will be more compressed formats on other types of media. Maybe it's time to start taking advantage of the latest copy-protection options, but other than that it seems rather pointless to be concerned about all this.
