Microsoft cares about creating end-to-end secure media delivery from the Hollywood to your monitor.
They always did, ever since the introduction of Protected Media Path (PMP) in Windows 2000, followed by tightening of the kernel access and now requiring the TPM. The end goal is to take away full control of the machines from their owners.
It's been a very long game for them, but they are almost there.
And then they will have fun.
- jiggawatts 2y agoThese media copy protection schemes remind me of web application firewalls. They're both digital snake oil, but huge corporations keep buying them. It's absurd that I have a Netflix subscription, but the easiest way to watch Netflix 4K content on my PC is to just download it from a bay filled with pirates.
