CHIPMAKER Intel has cut a deal with Hollywood in its Sandy Bridge chips to
put digital restrictions management (DRM) in them.
Intel's sellout to the big media companies makes it 'safer' for Hollywood
studios to offer premium movies to consumers on locked-down personal
computers. No doubt the media content cartels and Intel are dreaming
monopolistic visions of extracting big rents to stream everything online.
According to Reuters, Time Warner's digital distribution unit and other
studios plan to offer high-definition movies to consumers who have PCs with
Intel Sandy Bridge chips inside, simultaneous with releasing them on DVD.
Apparently the media cartels are dead keen to get their content on PCs that
are locked-down even to the level of the chip.

namjeravao sam zaobici sandy bridge zbog integrirane grafike, a sad izgleda da zaobilazim monopolisticki nastrojeni Intel i u buducnosti...kriptografski zasticeni softver i hardver nisu stvar legalne distrubucije softwera, vec cistog monopolizma....imam dojam da cu za par godina, na kompu moci igrati samo tetris besplatno...
