Maybe AMD will finally begin a great marketing campaign. The corporate slogan?

"If you're into illegal activity, AMD is definitely the way to go."

or

"Into bootlegging? Try AMD"

or how about

"Thinking of pirating? Sail the seven seas of AMD..."

Give me an F-ing break.

Yeah, what's wrong with that idea?

They are trying to backpeddle now:

6-2-2005 Intel Denies DRM in Pentium D

Intel Corp has scuttled a report that its new dual-core Pentium D processor and accompanying 945 chipset is embedded with digital rights management, which would prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of online content.

Skoog said many Intel products support several existing copy protection or content protection technologies. This includes support for DTCP (digital transmission content protection)-over-IP, which is a copy protection mechanism used to distribute content from one device to another within a home network (as opposed to DRM, which applies to online content). DTCP-IP was developed a couple of years ago by Intel, Toshiba, Hitachi and Matsushita.

She also said that in the second half of 2005, Intel would release an updated graphics driver that will also support additional content protection technologies including COPP, HDCP, CGMS-A.

They are playing a game of semantics. It's still DRM.

By the way, I get amused every time Anand and crew talk about HDCP as though it were a feature.

maybe some of "us" can get a discount for using HDCP

Looks like AMD already had DRM support on silicon for a long time.

Regardless, AMD was quite open about the implimentation and is a firm believer in giving the customer control on if their processor uses this technology or not. I can imagine Intel would care much less about adding such options for the sake of making more money from those backing such measures as DRM.

Moorhead, AMD's vice-president of consumer advocacy, dismisses consumer complaints that the ever-tightening noose designed to stop online piracy, known as Digital Rights Management (DRM), will erode existing rights.

But he says AMD believes that these technologies should be "opt-in" - that the user should control it - not government mandates.

You're going to sellout your rights for a few measly bucks? If so*, fsck you.

* My sarcasm detector, given how urgent the situation is becoming, is off. I don't know what "'us'" is supposed to mean.

Yes, that's what Presidio is. And the virtualization schemes might also be used to facilitate DRM too.

Gentlemen, a number of plans which were hidden and obfuscated from the majority of us have just now been set in motion in the public eye. How will you respond?

See the apple thread for my opinion.
