It's a special case of the generic strong-DRM problem, which I postulate is 
demonstrably insoluble if the (untrusted) end-user controls the code that 
runs on his machines. Rightsholder groups would like to outlaw machinery 
which affords end-users this freedom; the open-source movement protects it. 
In any case, a business model which requires that you distrust your customers 
is, in my view, fundamentally flawed.
