You've got some misconceptions rolled in there... The only scenario under which OGC won't be able to display HD content, is if _all_ monitor manufacturers design their monitors not to accept unencrypted HD content.
Sorry, I wasn't very precise in my usage of the word HD content. I meant decrypt it specifically. I'd be really surprised if the monitor manufacturing scenario came to pass.
Myself, being of the opinion that it's physically (and probably mathematically provably) impossible to keep data secret on the same machine on which it's viewed, believe that any effort spent on designing in DRM support will promptly be wasted by someone exercising their right to access information on their own computers, and the respective **AA killing the card remotely via BluRay, HD DVD, the internet, or some other pertinent blacklisting method. Same as they can already do for non-compliant BR and HD DVD players, and Windows Vista drivers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt we could be license compliant without such a remote kill switch.
I agree totally with your opinion, except that it's not a remote kill switch. All they can do is revoke the decrypting agent's ability to decrypt future releases.
DRM is literally an exercise in futility.
Eventually the rest of the media industry will realize this. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
