Eventually that method won't work.
All it needs is someone to work out the protocol
and produce a 'router' that directs
nefarious traffic to internal software that then
tells the product what it wants to hear.
The arms race for DRM is doomed to fail.
I for one have no plans to buy anything that
has DRM built in.
The content creators need to talk to their customers and find
ways of making money in a cooperative way that is fair.
All research has shown, the public are prepared
to pay a small amount for content they APPRECIATE.
The content makers don't want to face that reality.
