And that's key to the issue. If you are the copyright holder and request removal they are obligated to comply. So long as they do this then any content that is copyright but for which removal has not been requested they can cache.

You're making my point in a round about way. If you make this device look like a plain vanilla ATA controller then the drivers that are alreadi in the kernal should pick it up fine, no need to add the SATA link. Simply identify yourself as a fairly common, but fast IDE controller and everything from Windows to Linux to OS2 should pick it up. -nB
You would need drivers for a storage device on PCIe. If you just made this look like a PCI host controller it would boot fine (natively and without drivers). What do you think that PCI card that comes with your UDMA133 hard drive is for? Adding second drives? no. It is so if your mainboard only supports UDMA66/100 you can boot from the faster PCI card instead. This would be no different. As long as you're tying up the slot and are using a friggen Spartan 3 FPGA you might as well make use of the things PCI controller.
As a later poster stated this is good for you to connect to your RAID controller, but I see issues with that as well (namely four of these and you may not have any more PCI slots available).
I'd like to see a stand-alone unit that fits a 3.5 inch bay and has a pair of power connectors, one for connecting to standard system power, the other to connect to an optional PCI card that gives you the trickle power you need to keep the memory alive when the system is off.
I personally would love to use a couple of these in a stripe set as a video scratch disk. -nB
And if it's plugged into a PCI slot why pray tell does it need Serial ATA? Why not use the PCI bus and look like a very fast ATA controller? Std PCI has over 1 gig bandwith. -nB
"But can we really say it's some amazing piece of good faith that they settled ONLY for 1.4 billion dollars in salary for the year?"
If I had mod points I'd mod you flamebait on this one. They took one dollar for salary, not $1.4B. Their compensation was large, yes, but it was not a salary. If Google had tanked they would have made far less. What they've effectively done is told their employees: We care about the company because if it makes no money nor will we.
Funny, As a dev (and with tons of confidential and privlidged info on my computer) I am specifically instructed to take my notebook home every night. It is considered part of our business continuity plan. Not only that but this is a large multinational corp, not a mom and pop shop. That said, the drive is encrypted, and security policies are in place for communication back to the office when I'm away (2048 bit RSA VPN).
What it boils down to is this: My employer knows that if I want to steal data I can do it. Even if it comes down to hand transcription of one memorized line of code per day. So they trust me and provide me a hardened notebook to do my work on. Even if it is lost the data will not be compromized till it's likely to be useless anyway. -nB
That is data loss (the notebook), assuming no backup. The idea of removing a _copy_ of the data is not loss, it is theft. A bit of distinction but important. I will notice data loss, not likely to notice the theft though. -nB
I was meaning more from the aspect of: You can not play this pr0n on your computer because it does not support the following rights management hardware/software/firmware: Foo, Bar, and Baz.
Joe: Honey, we need a new monitor and video card. Jane: Why dear? Joe: So I can play . . . um . . . my new games. Jane: What you have already works fine dear, you play too many games already. Joe (to self): I'm gonna kill whoever invented this DRM crap!
-nB
I do agree that the common folk will not be given access ot the DRM systems. Mostly because whatever they are will be flawed and rely on the DMCA to prevent tampering. -nB
I don't think that it's they've made money, it is that they do not loose money on the consoles. If the console is break even and all your games have healthy margins (not obscene, just healthy), then you make profit with the first purchase. Afterall how many people buy a console and no game at all? -nB
Ironically this is what will get joe sixpack interested in DRM. You see, joe doesn't want jane to know about the digital stash, but if the DRM forces him "out of the closet" so to speak he will be quite upset (as well as possibly single).
