Write permissions aren't implemented at all, since you can't change a block (they're identified by cryptographicoh of course, sorry for not thinking it through.hashes, after all). Read permissions are implemented by the pool a block is placed in: If you have access to the pool, you can read the block.and i guess copy(right) can't be separated from that, i.e. if you can read you can copy (although it's not the intention) .. right? or if you think is stupid just ignore :)
I guess you could implement a voluntary micropayment by including payment data in the header, and requiring clients to respect it. Conceivably you could take legal action against clients that don't. Maybe you could even encrypt the blocks somehow and apply Digital Restrictions Management. I'm not interested in any of this. :-)
