    Law experts leery of DRM solution

    SAN FRANCISCO -- Even a conference room chock full of copyright law 
    experts and technologists could not determine Tuesday what role digital 
    rights management (DRM) should play in balancing the rights of users and 
    content providers...
    ----
    Also... Anyone figure out what's going on with my question about HDCP 
    and DVI???  HDCP is an Intel piece.  Will TV manufacturer's be violating 
    the HDCP license if they manufacture a converter which turns the 
    encrypted digital stream into an un-encrypted analog stream to the HD 
    capable TV?  The licensing scheme seems to indicate this is the case.  
    If it is true, then how will current non-DVI HD capable TV's accept 
    encrypted 1080i streams?  Anyone from Intel/Digital Content Protection 
    LLC have any ideas?
