But they're never going to agree to that, because then it would be trivial to dump the decrypted stream to a file. Right?

- DiabloD3 10y agoBut it is trivial anyhow. DRM doesn't actually work, never has, never will; and attempting to criminalize it (such as mentioned elsewhere around here) will only serve to increase piracy, not decrease it.
- alphapapa 10y agoYes yes, I'm on your side here. The point is that if the decryption module were open-source, it would be trivial to do it, and there would be lots of implementations of it, while if it were a binary blob, it would significantly raise the bar. They know this, so they'll never agree to having it be open-source.
