interesting concept, but won't work. as long as there is an unencrypted
datastream somewhere, said datastream can be copied. and once it's
copied, it'll be available as an unencrypted .mp3 or whatever the format
of the month is.
which is why some companies (intel, among others) work on systems to
have the whole channel, from source (CD or file) to speakers encrypted.
yes, that requires special hardware. I guess the hard part will be
convincing customers to buy new hardware so they can do less with it.
but they'll probably add some more or less bogus features that are only
available on that technology.
