Comment There is a cost with all that (Score 5, Informative) 51

Encoding times. You can't squeeze more in less space without cost, cost here are cpu cycles. Encoding times of higher quality stuff which i did was about 5-6 times longer than comparable quality of x264. But it's size was around 40-50% smaller than x264 one. There is a cost not only in encoding, there is a cost in decoding too, it takes a lot more cpu cycles to decode x265. Either way HEVC is VERY GOOD codec.

I think it will not be so trivial. Think about it, let's analyse this method. They are working with GPU suppliers, all decryption will take place on GPU. Which means no software will be capable of ripping it from screen like you can do it now. Because none of decoding takes place in software, which means you do not have access to decoded stream in OS. It means you need to rip it between GPU ----> Monitor path. Your GPU and CPU will have unique ID which will be probably sent to content supplier. Content will be encrypted for your hardware only. So the only way to get the video and audio streams is to use additional hardware.

Comment Re:Regulation is the enemy of free markets. (Score 5, Insightful) 54

You don't see the bigger picture here. There are certain segments of market that NEED to be regulated. 2008 finance crisis was because of deregulation's in finance market. 90% of products do not need to be regulated, but energy,finance etc. are not one of them.
