Content Cartel Makes Backroom DRM Deal

We ’re hear rumblings of an informal behind - the - scenes accord between Hollywood greedmeisters and consumer electronics maker , where the tinseltown moviemakers are vowing to hold off on any broadcast pin bullshit until 2010 . The hated image constraint token ( ICT ) , that crippling DRM flag that will automatically downrez HD video if non - HDCP - compliant outputs are used , is a required part of the spec for both Blu - ray and HD DVD players .

Some in the blogosphere see this as a trojan cavalry , where the mental object combine will get the HD players into consumers hand en mass and then slam - dunk full copy control condition on them once they ’ve all invested in the gimpy actor . But we ’re thinking that 2010 is a long room off in techno - yr , and by then the whole concept of play content on physical medium will be a quaint notion . Heck , by then , even noobs will be BitTorrenting 1080p .

Hollywood reportedly in accord to delay force quality downgrades
