Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem

Ben, of EngadgetHD fame, has posted a quick note about a new DRM plan that is supported by many of the major industry players. When you start to get NBC, Fox, Microsoft, Besy Buy, and Sony involved you realize that they are pretty serious about what they are going to propose at CES. Ben mentions that this DRM package is based around a "rights locker" which will allow you to access your digital content from a website.

In a perfect world, we would love to have a permanent HD copy on our HTPC. The ability to transfer it to the portable media player of our choice (not just 1 we register but any damn one we please). Also, we would like to have the ability to register physical media with the option to download the copy from our digital locker if the disc becomes injured in the line of duty.
