You're not quite right about CPRM being open. In order to get the specs, you need to have them mailed to you. This is free of charge, but you cannot download them at all.
distribution media is their choice. deal with it.
AND, part of the cipher involves a 256 byte "secret number" which can only be obtained if you sign a license agreement. Sounds REALLY open to me.
in crypto circles this "secret number" is called the "key". do you really expect them to give you the key to their encryption scheme??
you're overreacting (Score:4)
