Let me get this right. ... > "When a pirate makes a copy of a film encoded as SPDC, the output file is > cryptographically bound to a set of player decryption keys.

A blockbuster worth $100m gets cracked ... and the crack gets watermarked with the Id of the $100 machine that played it. > "We picture a message popping up on a screen saying something like 'Disney > movies won't play on your player any more please call this number for > further information.' Or perhaps 'To fix this please call Disney with your > credit card,' something like that anyway. So the solution is to punish the $100 machine by asking them to call Disney with a CC in hand? As described this looks like snake oil. Is this for real? iang --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
