I can see the connercials now:
It slices it dices - julianns frys! It Burns CD's DVD's Fake IDs....
If left alone it will do your laundry, wash your car.... next year there will be a patch to cure cancer!

Okay, it seems most of us are concerned about how this will effect things in the realm of the internet etc... (besides there will be little we can do to about local applications using this technology)
Any how... with regaurds to hardware DRM info being shared over the net, however, we should be able to effectivly block this. Am I right???
Isn't this kind of what firewalls and packet filters can be used for? Couldn't we create a device that sits between our PC and the network that removes the DRM tags from the data?
If the tags are being placed in by software, then couldn't we have a moddified TCP/IP stack (or whatever protocol your using) that removes this data before encapsulation?
What about the OSI model - all comunications are heald using this model - we should be able to control (with software) what data gets sent out on our lines... if not at the local device then at some other device...
Or am I just not understanding 100% how this technology works??
