This would be a cheap technical fix, if it worked. You could get a free redirect from some domain like travel.to or go.to . Does anyone know if CyberPatrol blocks sites that it is redirected to?

This wouldn't keep other people from looking at your screen. All they'd have to do is put on their own pair of polarized sun glasses. It aint a countermeasure if all I have to do is spend $5 at a fishing store.
Though the polarity of the sunglasses wouldn't necessarily be the same... you'd have to turn your head sideways:)
Single user machines shouldn't be attached to a network? What are the other people on my office going to type on then, especially if they print on a networked printer.
I think what you mean is that the 1-user machines should be treated like terminals. They should store their sensitive data on a server machine, and grab it over the network as needed (encrypted so it can't be sniffed).
What is going force any company to use SDMI over MP3? Creaction of MP3 files is still perfectly legal, and it's also legal to make players to support it. The RIAA can't sue people for not supporting their musical standard. Plus this isn't going to make a dent in piracy which is conducted all direct CD-R copies.
I vauguely recall a system where the transmitter would send clear text, and the legitimate reciever would create random interference. The legit reciever knew what kind of interference it was generating, so it could filter it out and retrieve the message. The result of this setup is a situation where there can be only one reciever; if someone tried to intercept the transmission they'd just get garbage.

Does anyone know if this is feasible?
