I think the idea is to make it so you don't have a choice.

  To force every player out there to do this? How would it know when you own the CD and have ripped it yourself? I guess you could always just detach it from the network.

    it is probably more interesting to ask how one forces severy player to implement this. By making players without this "feature" somehow illegal? Illegal to sell or distribute? Illegal to make? How one would enforce that. Also obtaining content by legally questionable means is essentialy same thing as using "illegal" player. Also it seems to me that it is easier to go after file sharers (there is somebody whose rights are violated) than after users/distributors/makers of some software (who exactly is victim of that?).

  Isn't the name for that “DRM”?
