[AktiviX-discuss] Digital Rights Management...?

[Dan]

Hia,

Sorry - asking questions again.  Can anyone tell me anything / direct me 
to any good info on building 'digital rights management' into the 
architecture of processors? An Observer article today hypothesises that:

"... Steve Jobs has a long-term goal to position Apple as 'the' online 
media company. He already dominates the online music business with the 
iTunes/iPod combination. Now he wants to repeat the trick with online 
movies.

"But Hollywood studios won't do a deal with him because they are worried 
about piracy. They want a platform with rock-solid 'digital rights 
management' (DRM) built in. And it just so happens that Intel has been 
moving technical mountains to build strong DRM into its processor 
architecture, whereas IBM doesn't see it as a priority."

Logically, I can't see how that would be possible....?
