Comment on New Intel processors to contain DRM suggested by Hollywood studios

Comments

I seem to remember last time someone tried something like this (Trusted Platform Module) a researcher burned the top off the chip and read the private key with a Focused Ion Beam workstation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk73ye2_g4o (WARNING: extreme hacking ahead!)

You would've thought people would have worked this one out by now.

Who fancies running a HN pool on how long until the root keys are public? (I'm serious - how funny would that be. We just need someone with enough trust from the community to handle the money. And someone who lives where online gambling is not regulated...)
