Almost makes you want to go back to vinyl. Maybe this watching movies in your home wasn't such a good idea, either. This just might make DVD-A successful.
Already there! Give vinyl a chance, you won't be sorry.

I give vinyl a chance all the time. But I'll leave my kinky sexual habits out of this.

Vinyl is just too sticky... Sorry not for me. On the other hand, I guess I could live with leather if necessary.

yeah and if you were a relatively hairy individual, you probably wouldn't be for long.
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

"Hard" is of course relative. Even if the DRM itself on the next-gen discs proves to live up to the hype of how secure it is, there's still the transport to consider. Ed Felten has already demonstrated how HDCP can be cracked. Once that's done, the digital video stream could easily be recorded.
I have already read that article, I showed it to a friend of mine who is way smarter and reads about HDCP all the time (slow days at work). Anyway he believes there are some flaws to the articles presumptions and concludes he doesn't think cracking it would be as easy as the author suggests. I wish I could convey all of that better but I'm not capable.
Bottom line, we're not going to know until its out, hell HDCP isn't even completely finalized yet!

Respectfully disagreeing, the spec for HDCP rev 1.1 was finalized in June of 2003, and approved by the FCC in August of 2004.

I mispoke, AACS, the actual encryption for next gen DVD's is what I meant (it was delayed) and it is only finalized on a interm basis.
There is more to it that I don't fully understand, but HDCP on video cards is not complete either. Its just one giant mess (DRM).
