Пару цитат: 1) "Graphics cards (or motherboards, for integrated graphics) need to conform to Content Industry Agreement hardware robustness rules. There must be no easy places for a hacker to use hardware to snoop the content...
If it is found—for example, reported by Hollywood—that a graphics chip manufacturer is allowing “hacker friendly” cards to be manufactured with their chips, and if that chip manufacturer is unwilling or unable to stop those cards being manufactured, then the final recourse would be the revocation of the driver for that chip. The PC industry needs to work together to avoid that outcome."
2) "Other companies are free to invent their own High Bandwidth Cipher, but security considerations mean that there is a high bar to meet before a new cipher can be approved for use. The proposed requirements—which also apply to the Intel Cascaded Cipher—are as follows:
Content industry acceptance The evidence must be presented to Hollywood and other content owners, and they must agree that it provides the required level of security. Written proof from at least three of the major Hollywood studios is required."
3)"In contrast, DVI without HDCP is definitely not liked by content owners, because it provides a pristine digital interface that can be captured cleanly. When playing premium content such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD, PVP-OPM will be required to turn off or constrict the quality of unprotected DVI. As a result, a regular DVI monitor will either get slightly fuzzy or go black, with a polite message explaining that it doesn’t meet security requirements."
З.Ы. Просмотрев доку по диагонали получается что DRM - составили основные инновации нового велокактуса. Пользователям просто урезали функционал за их-же деньги. Хех теперь понятно зачем нужно гигабайт памяти и топовый процессор чтобы запускать этого монстрика =)
