SVP : More Video Anti-Copying Technology

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they're-against-otan dept.

rkroetch writes "NDS, STMicroelectronics and Thomson have announced they will develop a new anti-piracy technology called SVP (Secure Video Processor). This will require a special SVP processor in the box to play the encrypted video signal. All those licensing fees for our DVD-ROMs for nothing?"

    They call it piracy because, just like the traditional pirates people think of, the people who insist on stealing movies and music have the same general disdain for other people's property and rights as the pirates. It's the same general social dysfunction, it's just a smaller scale.
