New DVDs more protected than Fort Knox

Ricoh has launched a new kind of VCPS blank DVDs, where VCPS stands for "Video Content Protection System". This norm, which is indeed a protection, will allow content providers - such as satellite TV - to make sure that a given broadcasted programme can only be recorded once on the same device.
To do so, these blank disks withhold a key that can be combined with a second one contained in the burning device to encode the data on the flight in AES 128 bits.
Not only can this data be recorded only once, but a compatible player is required to read it. And of course, disk copy is out of the question.
Hard to keep mum and remain quiet when facing this pack of protections lurking at the door. The decade to come will be a long one... Let's just hope nobody will come out with a book that crumbles into dust vampire-style when its last page is read. ;)
