DRM Helmets: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
I humbly suggest the most cost-effective and reliable solution to the copyright industries' troubles will be DRM helmets, bolted onto each dutiful consumer at the neck. When these helmets sense watermarked audio or video within earshot/eyeshot, they check their local license manager and instantly "fog up" if payment has not been delivered.
This will especially teach people not to listen to unauthorized copies of music while driving.
By fastening suitably-small DRM helmets onto children at an appropriately-early age, the citizenry's consumptive habits can be "arrested" (along with cranial volume) at a revenue-maximizing developmental stage. I'd guess this is around age 13, but I'm open to the latest research. Give and take is what policymaking is all about. [Privacy Digest]
This is funny. I am sure that someone in the entertainment industry is right now; as you read this, planning on turning this joke into reality...mj
