Electronic Frontier Foundation:

At the behest of American movie and television studios, the Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is devising standards to ensure that digital television devices obey content providers’ commands rather than consumers’ desires. These restrictions will take away consumers’ rights and abilities to use lawfully-acquired content so that each use can be sold back to them piecemeal.

What about stopping “Internet piracy”? CPCM has nothing to do with that — it will fail to stop or even slow mass unauthorized online distribution of copyrighted content. No matter how elaborate the DRM, popular content will inevitably be decrypted by some percentage of users and then placed online, making it readily-available to everyone else. CPCM’s uniquely fine- grained restrictions are simply intended to make it more capable of arbitrarily stopping legitimate personal uses.
