A talk on Intellectual Property and National Defense

[Adam Shostack]

Dave,

I think Peter was responding to me, not you.

And no, I'm not proposing that this be done, but I suspect that the
RIAA and MPAA will go as far as saying no off-net viewing of
controlled media.  Recall that they already supported the DIVX system
which required a phone line to work.   From their perspective, its
their content, and they're going to squeeze it as much from it as they
can.
