Yes, it looks like it will be sewn up pretty tightly.

Until you open up your LCD screen.

You'll then find something unencrypted drifting around, perhaps bt656 or
similar.
Or maybe someone will have to make some spiffy hardware that attaches to
the
drive going to the LCD panel itself, grabs all that nice unencrypted data,
and
streams it off the a nice stack of HDs for recompressing at leisure.

Not cheap, but you don't need to many of them around what with bittorrent
and all
that.

Or they could just sell people what they want at a reasonable price, but I
can't
see that happening.
