It is well known that a digital mode affords the broadcaster more
control over who can decode/demodulate the transmission and also
what
the receiver can do with the decoded information.


I hear a black helicopter approaching.

Excuse me? What did you do to attract the men in black?

You may not want to hear it but that is a fact. HD can implement DRM,
which here is digital rights management.

In this forum, you have to specify. Otherwise, it is that "other" AM
digital
system.

Broadcasters have been paying rights of some form or another back to the
30's. DRM is the same thing with a different name.

Digital rights management can now be extended to the listener through HD
radio.

Huh?

Huh?

Do you understand that DRM is media independent?

DRM means the system of managing (The "M" in DRM) royalties and controlling
copies.

For the moment, there is no encoding, no secret data burst, nothing that is
transmitted. All DRM does in radio and internet streaming at present is
provide a system for the RIAA in the US to establish tariffs for public
performance of digitally recorded and reproduced copyright selections.

That right David "For the moment, there is no encoding" but I expect
that in the future there will be without the black helicopters. I expect
organizations such as the RIAA you mentioned will DEMAND it.
