Therights management technology referred to in the article was not a secretDRM from Intel, but the DTCP-IP technology publicly offered by the 5C Entity; which Intel is a Founder. Intel believes that the DTCP-IP technology is an important element in enabling protected transport of compressed content within the home network, and we continue to promoteDTCP-IP for this application which enables greater consumer flexibility& use of premium entertainment content.
This reply is disingenuous. The DTCP web site says, on its home page, The following are informational versions of the Volume 1 specification documents, which omit specific sections and sensitive information. It is not the complete Volume 1 and should not be utilized for product implementations. The complete DTCP Specification, can be obtained by executing the License Agreement and paying the associated fees as prescribed in the license agreement. The license is about 50 pages long, describes "Confidential" and "Highly Confidential" markings for parts of the technology, and requires an annual payment of $10,000 for an evaluation license which can't even be used to ship products. (If you want to ship products, you owe even more up front, plus a per-certificate fee.) ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
