ARM launches hardware DRM
http://j.mp/11fYdEe (Torrent Freak)
"Chip manufacturer ARM has announced a Hollywood-approved video
processor that enables content producers to prevent piracy on mobile
platforms. The Mali-V500 video chip features hardware embedded
anti-piracy capabilities which secure playback of high-definition
video. According to ARM the new chip meets the toughest anti-piracy
standards for mobile devices."

I'll tell you a little "secret." Hollywood films don't leak out due to
people pirating them from smartphones, or even PCs. They normally
leak due to individuals in the primary production and distribution
chains themselves, and this DRM isn't likely to have any measurable
impact on Hollywood's bottom line -- except to further anger
consumers.
