To quote
"CPRM or Content Protection for Recordable Media is a mechanism for controlling
the copying, moving and deletion of digital media on a host device, such as a
personal computer, or other digital player. It's already used in specific
removable media, and is now being proposed for inclusion in the ATA
specification, for hard drives.
"Each CPRM-compatible ATA hard drive is individually signed, and authenticates
the playback and movement of files on the device against a central server using
CPRM-compliant software"
Note that this is in the hands of the distributor rather than the author. The
printed page suddenly has a warmer glow about it.
