This message is from the T13 list server.
So until ANY content protection comprehends the following
we will be highly UNMOTIVATED to use ANY product that contains it:
1) Any content authorization or un-authorization must NOT look
like a failed I/O, drive, OS, system, etc
(i.e. cause a service call or a bad user experience)
2) MUST be serviceable, and copiable (sp?) to another HDD.
(Say we swap out a HDD on a pre-failure warranty, the
user/service tech must be able to use current tools to copy the
data to another HDD with a totally different serial number).
3) Must be OS independent so that we don't have
drives that are OS specific (we can't control what OS our
users overlay on top of what we give them).
4) Must not cause delay to ANY other concurrently accessing
command (i.e. authorization must be EXTREMELY fast and efficient)
I'm sure there are others, but these are the killers
