Every single one of the devices in that chain has to be reduced to a black box which we're not allowed to tamper with. Hollywoord is trying hard to actually achieve that, and that is the scary part.

Not really true, Hollywood just needs to make it inconvenient for casual users to make copies and give to their friends etc.
