[Arm-netbook] EOMA68: DRM and Tivoisation

[Stefan Monnier]

of a hardware-virtualized guest OS. Such DRM is ultimately toothless, of
course, because the host can always be modified to grab perfect digital
copies of the audio, video, or whatever is coming out of the guest.

How would you get a "perfect digital copy" of a PDF/ePUB/... from the
video output? At best you'd get a sequence of raster images, which is a far
cry from a perfect digital copy.

Agreed about DRM only being allowed within the strict confines of a
hardware-virtualized guest OS. Such DRM is ultimately toothless, of course,
because the host can always be modified to grab perfect digital copies of
the audio, video, or whatever is coming out of the guest.

... yeah: which is why i added the bit about the hardware-virtualised
guest *not* being permitted to have any kind of influence *outside* of
the guest VM (such as, for example, "if it ain't running the video
stops working" - that sort of thing).

is there a way that you think that could be made clearer?
