The Register has created an an excellent FAQ on CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media), the new, rather dastardly method of digital content management looming on the horizon.
Ugh. It's too bad not to become true. (On the bright side, I wonder how long CPRM will withstand the inevitable barrage of hackers.)

This is a good scam by big business. One more reason to support Open Source and Open Content. I will once again applaud the hackers when they break this. (I don't support pirating - but I don't support use of these kinds of tactics either)
