And now is when we start the betting pool for this new protection's inevitable crack.
I give it less than a year from release.

Considering that DRM has always been a smashing success wherever it's implemented, this latest move to bring it to memory cards is undoubtedly a practical and worthwhile move! Kudos to these companies for their original, innovative approach to digital media distribution!
(I give it six months.)

Six months before it is pulled from the market maybe...it will probably be cracked before they start retail sales. Even if it is never cracked, you will still have piracy...the DRM will only hurt the people dumb enough to pay for it.

all you would have to do is reflash the ic with a modified code.
the same way you flashed ECC buffered memory back in the day when ECC Memory was pared with a Model of Computer.
Dell used to be notorious for it especially on there now extinct Optiplex GX Series. Apple is the only other company that's mainstream and still locks down hardware with model Pairing.

More bilking the paying consumer to keep this futile 'security' gravytrain rolling.

You obviously have not seen Minority Report. We'll have murder DRM in the future...

I don't know how easy this will be to hack this time around... seams like they are doing it right this time... basing it on the PKI and all, for this to get hacked one would have to leak a private key... oh wait... : )
