You haven't heard of Microsoft Eyesight? For a small fee, they perform
surgery on your brain so that you can view DRM-protected content.
(It's a simple outpatient procedure done at any MSMD-certified
doctor.)

If you don't have the modified optical center in your brain, you see
only static when viewing an MS Eyesight encoded video.

So this is where you want to go today - off to your MSMD! :-)
