It's already been established that such material is still pirated.

That's why I've proposed one that is perfectly feasible and workable. (You're welcome!)

Exactly. All hardware and software vendors must adapt the system for it to work. But that is not an impossible requirement, any more than it has been impossible to get all vendors together on any other hardware or software standard. It just takes agreement that it is the best way to progress the industry... versus doing nothing, and allowing piracy to prevent the industry from ever being profitable.
