More CSS news from your posted article......................................

<<Taken collectively, the announcements constitute a marked turnabout for a technology
that only weeks ago seemed to be mired in controversy surrounding the Content
Scrambling System (CSS) copy-protection technology (see May 26, page 1).
(Chromatic has a CSS license and is supporting the feature in its Mpact chip.)>>

Did we know that Chromatic supposedly has a CSS license? That makes it CUBE (HW), CompCore/Zoran (SW), and Chromatics/Mpact (SW). Of course, there's the footnote that plagues software decoders, at least for now:

<<However, one sticking point in the rush to Mpact could come from the software
