Sounds like a pretty risky business model. I'm assuming you're charging a flat rate for a stated bandwidth, but you're paying for bandwidth by the kbyte of data. If it works for you, fine. But, if it doesn't, don't bitch at you're users for using what their paying for, just because you screwed up your business model.
How do you legally kick someone off of your system if they are only using one computer but yet using too much bandwidth?
Yes, but the interesting part is not that the public could get the "secret" key. The interesting part was that once a few people actually started looking at CSS it was so weak that you don't even need the secret key to break it.
The problem with "industry" (i.e. Microsoft, Sony, DVD consortium, etc) solutions is that they will put forward some lame, weak, proprietary solution that does little more than lock out their competitors from the market. For example Linux and DVDs.
The problem Apple will have is that no one will believe them when they say that the existing DRM solutions are crap.
