Even if it was impossible to get the stream any other way than connecting the audio/video output from one device to the input of another, all it takes is one person with good equipment to make the initial rip. Once it's copied into a more 'usable' form, the cat's out of the bag.
The only place where this fails is with Palladium-like systems which will only run 'trusted' code and play 'trusted' (watermarked, encrypted, whatever) media. But again, even if Palladium is given a media and industry blitz, with all new systems required to be running it (or an equivalent system), there are enough older systems around to create a black market of freely usable computers.
The big difference between an encrypted movie and an PGP encrypted message is that the movie is designed to be decrypted by thousands of players around the world, while the message is designed to be decrypted by only one individual who knows the passphraise and has the private key.
The fact that they're designing a system to be easily decrypted in some situations and impossible to decrypt in others, on the same hardware, is nearly impossible.
I didn't expect it to turn my crap into a gem, but I do expect the program to not randomly apply audio filters with no way to remove them (none of the clips properties showed fade outs, but many of them had fade outs, so it's a little difficult to remove a filter that the program doesn't think is applied).
I have used iMovie before for a small video project. It was fairly easy to get started using and produced nice results, until the audio filter started fading out on every clip and I had to restart the edit...
It looks like these guys just didn't have any lights or microphones, and didn't preview it at all.

Not as funny as the fact that they were edited with iMovie on an Apple notebook.
I agree about your other parts, but the "unauthorized collection" wouldn't be unauthorized if the 'black box', or its interface software, were given to the owner of the car under a license, and thus still actually owned by the manufacturer. This is the same way that DVD players and game consoles are 'sold'.
I didn't imply that it was or wasn't illegal. I asked him if he thought that because "only 1 person can... view that book at the same time," any situation where more than one can view it at the same time would be an 'issue'.

Only one person needs 30gb free space. Once it's recompressed, everyone can just copy the smaller version.

You could try the Office of Veterans Affairs. Maybe the US Dept. of Agriculture might care.
How would 'the government' force a company to patch their software?

It's just that the ambassador from Microsoft doesn't like it.
And the protection of those companies will likely last a lot longer than 'right now', and longer than a recession will.

None of those ICs will be able to source enough current (15A for a cheap power supply) individually to economically replace the system's PS.
