History has proven that public key systems take years to break, unless
you know something that nobody else does.

History has also proven that the studios do learn from their mistakes,
although maybe not as fast as other companies. CSS was crippled because
it was a closed spec (so it couldn't be validated as "good") that put
crucial data (the master keys) into the hands of *every* user of a software
DVD player.

They've already learned from that with D-Theater movies, which has been
out for well over a year and isn't close to being cracked.
