1) there is no legal way to do that.
2) there is no technical way to do that.
3) there is no marketable way to do that.
4) there are no moral grounds to do that.
5) there are no ethical grounds to do that.

The only way to support such a restriction is to implement a totalitarian

die within 3 months.
