This means it wont be implemented or wide spread for years to come. Furthermore, like they describe it now, it will not be widespread for sure as every piece of hardware (vcr, dvd players, tvs, pcs, etc...) needs to be updated...
Even every normal user can copy ANY DVD already and will always be able to copy something if they realy want. And no you don't need special hardware or special software to do so. Just think logical and forget about all those special programs and tricks and don't "attack" the source (the DVD/player) with special DVD rip software or whatever, just copy from further away in the "playing a movie on the TV" link...
DVD with copy protection => DVD Player/software => video signal => TV
There is nothing "wow" about the news. Just "Oh, well, just another method which won't be implemented for years".... much talk in theory, little implementation in practice. For me, this 'news' is classified between the report that two people died again last night of a carcrash and that Bush is coming to Belgium
