Can the key be "revoked" in this system by the copyright holder at any time under this proposed system?
Imagine if you will, a MS secure content channel that checks with the content owner or other Central Body ( i.e. RIAA, Government, Congressional Wives Against Sound... ) and allows the key to be revoked or corrupted.
Someone decides band X is bad, book Y is immoral, or movie Z is subversive then the system could refuse to allow play and that's the best case what if the system some how corrupts the key or data.
Poof instant Media Ban/Book Burning.
Talk about an invention that could set back all the progress of the Printing Press in just a few years.
Hmmm.
