R: R: [gst-devel] Create a secure level

[Domenico Pontari]

I'm agree with you that it's only a way to do copies a little more difficult.
I think that is a compromise: the aim is making it so difficult that anyone would prefer buy the content (or take it from the source) instead of make patches.

Are you agree with me that it's more difficult changing values of an E2PROM than making patches for GStreamer? And it's more difficult making patches for GStreamer than using Camtasia to catch video stream...

Bye,
Domenico

It's not possible to do this _at all_ with standard computer
hardware, irrespective of the operating system or media framework.
Any system that pretends to do this merely makes it more difficult,
and can generally be circumvented by a few hours of work.
