Protecting Content in the Digital Home

With digital broadcasting, every copy becomes a perfect copy. Add to that the quality of high definition television, and the viewer at home will store a copy of higher quality than that he could buy on a DVD today. The digital home, with linked digital devices, will be able to maintain an archive of digital entertainment equal to that of a broadcaster. This presentation will review the scope of the problem, discuss the existing solutions and their limitations and look at frameworks being suggested to address the problem from the viewpoints of the content producer/provider, the broadcaster, the producer of fixed media, the consumer electronics manufacturer and, of course, the consumer.
