  Chips losing some antipiracy support
Time: 07:33 EST/12:33 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Jared Evans

Plans to hard-wire copy protection into popular digital music and video devices are being shelved as the consumer-electronics industry grapples with interminable battles over antipiracy policies, standards and consumer rights.

Until recently, many makers of chips for consumer-electronics devices hoped to build anticopying technology into the chips themselves, a process known as "hard coding." That technique speeds up a device, saves on battery power, and makes the antipiracy technology harder to break through. Prominent security researchers say that hardware-based rights management technologies are more secure than alternatives that rely primarily on software.
