How about the end user? Will it benefit us by providing a clearer stutter-free picture?
You need an industrial grade computer to decode a 2048 bit code. Even the government doesn't use that type of protection.

it will no doubt push the costs up. but lets hope there are no adverse effects to playback if this encryption is ever used.

It's the MPAA. Since when do they care what you want?

They haven't, won't, and don't. Period.

They are more than happy to hand out the lube, and many consumers seem to love it!

I hope The Pirate Bay and other sites will intorduce 2048-bit encryption. That'd show them anti-consumer organizations.

I have been using the help pages for a long time now as the guides are invaluable to circumvent the varying forms of DRM and i often read the news pages. the ongoing battle against hollywood and their digital locks is very concerning lately but this attempt is completely futile as other posters have already mentioned, so why waste more money on pointless locks. but why make the false statement that DreamStream did.

the best way to educate everyone is to name the companies and stop them, just as nike has been subjected to pressure, apple, adidas mc donalds so and and so forth. name and shame is the best weapon to fight large companies that think they can do as they wish.
