They may be big but non-compliance will cost them large sums of money. They have already been fined heavily by the EU and whatever side you take in this by complying with DRM they will not have to fight off a law suit which they will probably loose. The costs awarded against them would be based on the potential loss of revenue to the meida companies and given the amount of copies of Windows in use this could equal hundreds of millions of dollars! Bill may be a bit naive over the problems of good security but I don't think he's totally stupid. The Media companies also appear to be a bit naive over security issue therefore whatever measures they put in place will probably be broken. So far both SACD and HD-DVD appear to have been compromised, others are likely to follow. -- MrStan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
