  1. Comment - Silverlight 4 to do for PCs what HD DVD couldn't

    It isn't just Microsoft that likes DRM. Have you noticed what also gets passed with the signal on an HDMI or Display Port. Both of those pass DRM data. Expect in 18 to 24 months that all HD content will be DRM protected and only allow display on HDCP compliant divices.
