This is pretty off-topic, but resource forks are not metadata. For  
example, a Mac OS 9 application typically has no data fork, only a  
resource fork. And many Mac OS X applications have a resource fork  
containing critical resources.

It's true though that a useful file copy would (at least optionally)  
preserve metadata.
