Erk. We're now going to *require* that all players contact
a possibly overloaded rights-granting server just to play
our favorite music/videos/etc.?
Oh yeah, that'll fly *real* well. Not.
At least with OpenSource we can be sure that the payload's
properly encrypted, for what small comfort that gives us, and
that we don't get Sony-style "oopsware". But I can't say
I like this from an operational standpoint -- at least not
without a lot more study.
