Well, exactly.
My reaction was, also, who appointed Apple as our nanny, to control
our behavior for matters that have nothing to do with Apple? Even
though I think Kon is right, that these techniques can all be
circumvented, it's still the mindset that is obnoxious.
Not much different from PVR makers who allow broadcasters to prevent
us from time-shift recording, even though the US courts said this is
perfectly legal. Who appointed the CE companies as our nannies?
Copying the movie through a camera in the audience is illegal. Fine.
No one appointed Apple as our movie-copy-prevention police.
It's a patent application Bert.
Will it ever see the light of day?
As long as the entertainment industry views their customers as
thieves, there will be opportunities for companies designing products
to protect content. And companies that make devices to create and
deliver content will need to cater to the needs of the entertainment
industry.
