I'm sorry...  I simply want no part in DRM.  It's blatantly unnecessary.

My thought is simple. If there is a market for this, then it something to consider. I don't like DRM, but I am not going to buy Windows just to be able to use HD video. DH, I hate Windows more than I hate DRM.

I really don't know how the HD market will go. My current thought is that if I purchase a new monitor that I would want wide screen and the DRM people consider WXGA (1280 x7 68) as a high resolution format. If HD and wide screen become popular, this could have a serious negative effect on the Linux/*NIX market.

It is possible that AACS will be completely cracked by the end of the year. Is so, this would make only a small difference in what the market would need. It might still be necessary to have HDMI/HDCP output and a hardware accelerator to decode AACS.
