Using Palladium to Secure P2P Networks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sauce-goose-gander dept.

user555 writes "The RIAA and MPAA have seen Palladium as a way to prevent piracy. But this article argues that ironically Palladium may actually make P2P piracy more widespread (PDF). They argue that the security features of Palladium could be used to create P2P networks that are more resistant to attacks from content owners."

    Huh?

    You can burn a CSS-free DVD-R that will play on most DVD player on the readily available burners. The control of CSS keys does not prevent independent garage-made DVDs.

    I don't see any move to stop the existence of unencrypted formats. The consumer electronics industry would not allow that. The __AA just try to make the encrypted ones as unbreakable as they can.

    The "real threat" is there and is not going to stop anytime soon.
