  7. Digital storage media • DVD • CD • D-VHS • DAT • Removeable Mag disc • Hard Mag Disc • Flash RAM/ROM • Non volatile-RAM • Micro-optical

  8. User interface • TV • Stereo • PC display • Phone display • PDA display

  9. Users • Primary • consumers • Secondary • Libraries • Teachers/Students • Researchers/Developers • Special needs • Disabled

  10. Current protection measures • Audio-visual • Stored media • DVD CSS • Macrovision • D-VHS D-Theatre • Cable /satellite • Conditional access systems (W/return path) • Web • Proprietary DRM’s (e.g. Microsoft MRM) • Open rights languages (XRML, ORDL)

  11. Emerging protection measures • Audio-visual • Stored media (DVD’s, PVR’s) • CPRM/4C • DTCP/5C • D-Theater • HDCP/DVI • HDMI • Cable /satellite • POD’s • STB protections • 4C/5C/ • HDCP/HDMI/DVI • PHILA/OCAP • Broadcast • Flags • Watermarks (e.g. CPRM/4C) • Web • Secure PC

  12. Current protection measures • Audio • Stored media/recorders • Legislation (DMCA, AHRA) • CD copy protect (e.g. Cactus Data Shield) • CGMS, SCMS • SDMI • Web • Proprietary DRM’s (e.g. Microsoft MRM) • Open rights languages (XRML, ORDL) • Secure audio path

  14. Marked Content accompanied by DRM Un- Marked Content not accompanied by DRM Marked Content not accompanied by DRM

  15. Future trends • All different player types connected in home • Storage media portable between different player types • Moore’s law will aggravate piracy problem • Faster pipes • Better compression • Bigger memories • Smaller storage • New potential “fair uses” of rich media (distance learning) • New players (e.g. MP4), pipes (Digital Terrestrial Broadcast), media types (e.g. Interactive TV)will emerge • Consumers growing up with belief that “ sharing of licensed content with others is OK”

  16. Issues • Protection of unsecured content in peer-to-peer networks • Affordable protection in devices (e.g. PC’s) with many inputs, internal data paths, storage devices, data types and outputs • Renewability/extensibility of new measures • Managing the legacy problem while enabling responsible innovation • Interoperability of proprietary DRM’s and other protections • Public vs. private ownership • Role of government • Number of distinct measures needed to accommodate variability of compute power, memory, display performance, return path etc • Accommodating fair use and potential fair use applications • Consumer time shifting/portability, distance learning • Digital “check out” from libraries • Achieving Multiple lines of defense for unsecured content • Playback control • Copy control • Transmission control • Forensic tracking • Renewability/revocability of all of above • Enabling new business models (e.g. super-distribution)
