Flexible copy protection?
Finally, it looks like Hollywood studios, technology vendors and electronics manufacturers are working together to come up with a robust and flexible (yes, flexible) copy protection scheme for high definition video content. Here is an excerpt of this article from EETimes:
"Disney, IBM, Intel, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba and AOL Time Warner. announced Wednesday (July 14) they are developing the Advanced Access Content System. AACS will provide more flexible rules on how content is shared between systems and over home networks while enabling stronger security than today's DVD copy protection scheme.
AACS will enable studios to come up with their own sets of rules for when high-definition content can be copied from one device to another or shared over a home network. That's a significant step up from today's schemes that at best allow three scenarios-copy freely, copy once or no copying."
