what kind of piece of s*** decides to invent a thing like this? same a******* that invent technology for cops to use probably

Thems fighten words! The best way to get your stuff hacked is it to say it's unhackable... I'm sure if they really must do it, a device will be placed between the computer and monitor and capture the data that way. Using a cracked monitor to get any encryption key needed. |
This has been on the cards for years now, with HDCP finally taking off this will eventually be the norm.. Although someone will crack it i'm sure.

HDCP is already cracked and any digital rights management for audio or video always has a final weak link: it has to be decoded to be displayed on a screen or played through speakers.
The billions of monitors and TVs people are currently using don't support the newer DRM schemes anyway, so by strictly adopting them they'll make sure that no one buys any content. It's all an utterly pointless exercise. All it takes is one person to create a pirate copy of a video or audio file for that to spread across the entire internet. There is simply no way to prevent that happening and it's ridiculous that companies want people to buy content that is less functional than the pirated equivalent. Just offer up official MKV files already. |
The analog loop is their problem
If your eyes can see it a camera can record it. anti piracy measure circumvented. |
Who the hell watches cam rips these days?
|
so how does this stop a pirate from ripping it straight off a DVD / blu-ray?

so how does this stop a pirate from ripping it straight off a DVD / blu-ray? It doesn't, since you won't be using this chip inside a PC that can house a dvd / bluray player. Most likely it's for portable or compact media player style units that stream from the internet, and require hardware decoding due to the CPU itself not being fast enough for software decoding ... |
So.. considering that practically all movies are either cam'd / TS'd from the cinema or ripped from a disc, and virtually all tv shows are recorded with capture cards/dvrs. What piracy are these chips meant to be stopping ?
