Who can hear the content can be determined by the encoding. People
that
don't have the "code" will not be able to hear it. Codes could be
built
into the radios so that they can only decipher some broadcasts similar
to DVD players today or pay radio streams on the Internet. Besides
codes
built into the radios you might have to key in more codes to hear some
broadcasts or load in a deciphering program from computer to radio
similar to pay satellite TV.


Which SW broadcaster would try to limit their audience? Certainly not
the
propaganda stations. Not the evangalists. Not the conspiratorialists.

Maybe the best thing for you to do is go stick your head back in the
sand where it will be more comfortable.

OK, so tell me. Which broadcaster might require these special, additional
codes?

Would any SWL jump through the new proprietary DRM hoops? I wouldn't.
Would you? Would anyone you know?

You say DRM doesn't sound any better than standard SW broadcasting. If
true, DRM wouldn't present any additional benefit to either the broadcaster
or the listener. Why would a proprietary DRM system be better than the open
system?
