Looks like people have been well on their way to cracking this standard since it was made public.
It's fun to see the entertainment industry creating new incentives to engage in piracy.
I tend to think that piracy is the market force that will actually change the industry's thinking re: DRM. If content creators can continue to profit despite piracy (and their claims to the contrary), they could afford to reduce the cost of the content sans DRM, thereby removing much of the incentive to engage in piracy. My grasp of all things economics isn't stellar, but is there any reason this wouldn't work?
