The Wall Street Journal reports that Disney is close to releasing a new system that will sell permanent, multi-device access to digital media. The system, dubbed Keychest, is being positioned as an answer to consumer concerns about purchasing digital media that are locked to a small number of devices, and thus as a way to finally shift media sales from an ownership model to an access model. They claim that such a service would reduce the risk of losing access to content as a result of a single vendor going out of business, as purchased content would remain available from other vendors. However, they do not seem to have addressed the question of what happens to customers' access to purchased content if the Keychest service itself is discontinued.

I've heard about this, apparently this new Super Secure DVD kill has already been cracked for the media to play on anything, apparently its only about a line of code that needs to be changed.

Why do companies still have to spend so much R&D and slow development to build awkward, unusable tools simply to fight better solutions that already exist?? Competition speeds innovation and drives down consumer costs, but builds up so much unneeded waste!
