It would be nice to find that the article is actually a #4 in 24601's classification scheme, but my quick scan makes me think its is more of a "#2" conceptual paper to bring the concept to Atlantic's readership (often a far different group than SI) and is "not unlike" and "not inconsistent" with WAVE capabilities. I am at work and cannot get the time to read every word now, but will when I get home tonight. My understanding agrees with John's - if you can see it on your screen, you can (maybe with some work) capture it in a re-readable and/or editable format, if you don't want to be a "good citizen". The same problem is the weak point of a number of the TV/Movie copyright chips that have been offered in the past as protection systems - if the desire is there and the signal is ultimately converted to a normal signal displayable on the screen, the point of attack is within the display unit beyond the point at which the coded signal is turned back into a normal signal. IMHO it is for these reasons that the WAVE system is not described as a security system, but is described as a content metering and management system that also has significant security aspects. Best to all. Steve
