Doomed

The files will be watermarked and traceable to originating computers to discourages piracy.
More DRM. More punishing of legitimate customers. Stupid stupid stupid.

Thousands of people can already extract video from their Tivos and other devices and put them on portables. DRM sucking ()*q#$&().

Yes, I know watermarking's not really DRM. It doesn't matter. You give a copy of Oprah to your friend and they stick it on BitTorrent -- now you're targeted by Harpo Inc. Fooey to it all. Chilling chilling effects.

 Err, actually no.

I'm against any DRM but this one sounds like a legitim one: it wouldn't limit my rights, I could transfer between my units endlessly, it would only show when I share it with the public.

This sounds like a fair deal to me.
