For reference, SD=Secure Digital. The SD specification was an expansion of the MMC spec. One of the additions was a built-in hardware DRM mechanism. The intent was to fill up a HUGE 64 Mb card (cue irony) with a hardware protected library of books or music and sell it. It never caught on, but it's still there.
