Most HD protection is going to have hardware implementation, but the biggest deterant from file sharing with HD content is its massive size. In uncompressed form, HD video requires about 12 GB per hour, and when using MPEG-2 compression it requires about 9 GB per hour. HDMI connections also include the sound which will support (AC-3) Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital 7.1 standards. We'll need ethernet based internet for that to come pretty quick.

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
