No, that's the way DRM works today but not in the future. When you buy by credit card you type your pin into the machine and it gets validated by your sim card not the oline connection... the nubmer is stored in there... has anyone managed to break into the sim - no (although someone once made a little progress towards it)... in fact in the Mondex and talking about electronic money based on this sim harware.... it's totally secure.
So the music would need to be encripted at the server side and decoded on the fly inside the sim 'cpu'. Of course it's not perfect becuase the output comes out afterwards so if you have both the sim and the music you can turn your music in an open format if you are a russian programmer- but that's where we talk about protected kernel mode drivers and HDCP. that technology is good enough combined with the force of law. do all this with in SB9 and Transporter9 and emi will push $$$ at you is my view... ps: and i will never need to rip another cd again :-) -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
